Hi

Are you sure those are doriae? The look very much like Stenodactylus petrii

What character do you use to differentiate them as doriae?

They are darker then petrii's, There is not much difference and they are of same familie but i'm 100% sure that its doriae...

This is a petrii:

Petrii hasnt got that black on the sides of the body...

Doriae and petrii are often confused... I bought those ones as petrii's but after a bit of research i came to the constation that it's doriae :)

Nice pics, vincent!
a question:
I have seen on DP that you now marked them as Stenodactylus khorensis.
Why is that? I tought it was Doriae?
Did you find a good resource to determine species of this genus?
(If so, please let me know).
I ask this because i'm not sure about my new Stenodactylus (see my other topic).
They were marked as 'S. petrii', but i have some serious doubts on that...
They look quite the same as yours.
