Arrow Purple Pachydactylus bibronii?
Has anyone ever seen a Purple/Lavender Pachydactylus bibronii(Bibron's Gecko) before?
The local pet shop to me has 3 of them, but only one of them is purple!

I was thinking of just fronting the $20 for a purple gecko...

How DOESN'T it look like a Bibron's to you guys? ....I can't tell the difference. LOL

Well, I know it's not because of shedding, because the gecko has been there like a month with the other 2, and he's always been purple/lavender.

Looks like I need an actual picture to determine what this dude really is...

Oh crap!
I think I might have just figured it out....???

Possibly a Chondrodactylus bibronii, and NOT a Pachydactylus bibronii like I had previously thought?


Chondrodactylus bibronii:

Pachy bribroni and Chondro bribroni are same thing. The one you're looking at is a Chondro turneri.

Ahhhh..... Well honestly to me they look kind of similar...

Without hitting the "dumbass" button, could someone explain the difference to me?
