ID help? and pics of my new frog eye. .

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

I picked this little guy up from the pet store today. Hes really active and did not want to sit still for the pics. They had it labeled as Keyserlingi but I dont know for sure because its the first one I have ever owned. So if you guys can help me ID it and also tell me if you can sex it yet it would be awesome. Sorry I got picture happy. . . .

Let me know what you guys think!

Blake,

You've got an Egyptian Stenodactylus petrii. All Teratoscincus species have some dorsal plate-like scales that look like fish scales. Microlepis, as defined by their latin name (micro scaled), are really the only exception. But even they have some enlarge plates on their tails.

I didnt think it looked like any Teratoscincus I have seen before. Thanks Jon.

Yep that is a Stenodactylus petrii. They are still neat geckos.

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

Anyone know the sex?

 

[cliff_f]

Its kind of hard to tell from the pictures but it look like a female.

It is female, as I can see, cose males have large obvious bulges...

I hope you didn't pay that much for her!

12.95. . . good price as far as I'm concerned.

Thats a neat little guy there. Do you mind if I ask how much you paid? Is he WC or CB?

 

[BlakeDeffenbaugh]

Paid 13 for her and my guess is shes WC but I'm not really sure.
