Hello everyone

i share her some photos of my small guests



This one is sphaerodactylus molei

and this next is Coleodactylius septentrionalis

[Luperosaurus]

Small but great geckos! Thanks for sharing!

Hmm. First photo depicts a male Sphaerodactylus molei, whereas your second and third photos depict a female Sphaerodactylus molei. This species is sexually dimorphic in coloration with the two sexes exhibiting different coloration and head pattern.

Nevertheless, thanks for sharing!

Thank you Jon

But there is only one S. molei the other two are males of Coleodactylus septemtrionalis

Best regards!

For comparison purposes, here is a female Sphaerodactylus molei that I found less than 60 days ago on the island of Trinidad which neighbors you in Venezuela. Coleodactylus species have the same blunt heads as a Gonatodes, or even more blunt and short; whereas Sphaerodactylus have the long pointed snouts which are present in my photo and your 2nd and 3rd photos.

Otherwise, have you ever found a female Sphaerodactylus molei? If so, can you please post a photo?

Hi again Luis,

Only wanted to post a pic that shows a couple of Coleodactylus - septentrionalis and amazonicus. Hopefully, that will help you and please let us know if/when you find them. The Gonatodes and other Sphaerodactylids from your country are very nice and we certainly enjoy your sharing.

Best,
Jon
