Hey,

you should look for Pachydactylus tsodiloensis.

DIAGNOSIS.—To 60.0 mm SVL(Haacke 1966). May be distinguished from all other members of the P. serval/weberi group by the combination of the following characters: rostral (and sometimes 1st supralabial) excluded from nostril; supranasals in broad contact anteriorly or separated by one or more granules; scales on dorsum of head granular, those on snout much comparable in size to largest scales of interorbital region; dorsal scalation heterogeneous, consisting of small flattened scales interspersed with much larger tubercles bearing a single central keel, tubercles becoming larger laterally and conical rather than keeled towards flanks; tubercles in 16–18 rows; thighs bearing enlarged keeled or conical tubercles; toes relatively short, toe pads relatively broad; typically 6–7 under digit IVof pes; tail to at least 125% of SVL, annulate, bearing whorls of relatively small, keeled, well-separated tubercles; adult pattern yellowish, grayish or russet with regular to irregular thick light (white, gray or yellow) bands with somewhat narrower dark brown borders, either extending across width of body or breaking up onto flanks; usually five (occasionally six) bands: one on nape, one across shoulders, two on mid trunk and one anterior to sacrum (Fig. 71 in Bauer et al. 2006; see also Haacke 1966: plate I; Barts and Haacke 1997, fig. 5; Barts et al. 2001, figs. 1, 5–6); juvenile pattern similar to adult (Haacke 1966, plate I; Barts et al. 2001, figs. 3–4). Dorsal bands may become obscured in larger adults, although a vague alternating light and dark pattern remains discernable.

CONSERVATIONSTATUS.—The Tsodilo Hills are remote and have been designated a World Heritage Site because of their many rock paintings. Pachydactylus tsodiloensisis probably under no serious threat from human activity.

Bauer and Lamb (2003) presented evidence that P. tsodiloensisis closely related to P. waterbergensis.

hi bjørn!

thanks for the answer!

can somebody tell me a little about how to keep this speices.

and maybe what price level we are talking? ( i have already bourgt a pair from a person who thougt it was turneri)

[PassPort]

Hmmmmm, P. tsodiloensis is about half the size of a Ch. turneri or even less, and much more rare/expensive. I don't know how they'd get mixed up.

Can you post up a pic so we can be 100% sure on the species identification?

as for care they are the same as most other Pachy's, but perhaps more arboreal. They'd probably do well on a find sand substrate with some upright pieces of slate. A nice hot spot of like 95F and temps of 85-75F

[Simon.]

thanks for the answer!

here´s a picture... looks a lot like C T.

[PassPort]

hmmm.....
Tarentola annularis I believe. White spotted wall gecko. They're native to sub-saharan areas of Africa, such as Morocco. Keep them hot and fairly dry. Sand/soil mix or sand would be fine. Stacked and upright slate or cork bark for hides. Temps about the same as what I told you for the tsodiloensis, but maybe a hot spot of only 90F or so. Mist lightly maybe twice a week.

I'm currently keeping a sexed pair. These can be darn near impossible to sex, so post up some clear pics of the underside of the geckos and we could probably help you out.
