Default Brazilian Pygmy Gecko?

I'm thinking Gymnodactylus (are there Sphaerodactylus in Brazil)?

Looks like a Coleodactylus, but hard to say for sure which species from this video. I think there are only 5 species known, all occuring in Brazil, some exclusively in Brazil. All are very small and Sphaerodactylus-like.

Thanks, Jon.
I couldn't find any mention of Sphaerodactylus in Brazil, but a few listings for very small Gymnodactylus.
Those guys sure are cute.

Thanks for sharing the video! It's rare to find much on Coleodactylus, let alone in a video clip narrated by David Attenborough!
