ozzy gecko identification

[deaxone]

ok somene posted this on another forum,Can you twig this is a lizard? Play Spot the Gecko in our series of pictures | Mail Online
anyway can anyone tell me what the gecko in the photo on the right above the new zealand nothland green is,
labeled as an australian gecko but i dont have a clue at even what genus it is(its got a slightly flattened tail and fringes almost like some uroplatus)

Im pretty sure its Ptychozoon kuhli (kuhl's flying gecko) but not 100%

 

[deaxone]

ahh ok,
i had a suspision but it dosent seem to have the noches in the tail that i thought kuhlis had,also the flaps on the side?

It is an Uroplatus from the fimbriatus group. Thus, Australia is wrong and misleading.
Anyhow, I am not sure about the exact species ID from that pic. May even be a new one.

thats what i thought,it cant be a flying gecko because of the fringes,flying geckos have flaps,not to mention notches at the base of the tail
it dosnt look like any uroplatus i know but it does seem to be uroplatus,head shape,fringes and flat tail

could it be malehelo?ive only ever seen one photo,kinda looks like this but u can never tell size

ill try in the uroplatus section

 

[NathanSoto]

Hmm...now im really interested lol
I kinda figured it wasnt a kuhl's but i shoulda known cause not even the head and eyes are the same (on top of what you said Deaxone), its obviously a Uro i would very much like to see if you find anything deaxone best of luck.

 

[deaxone]

its now in the uro section soi expect soemone will have a good idea what it is,
uroplatus are so cryptic. sub species,locales,i even saw that someone in the states cross bred a phant and a ebenaui,
even the people who know the most about this genus will tell you theres probably more we dont know about them than we do

If you mean this one, then it looks like U.fimbriatus to me.

 

[allen]

If you see the eyes, i would way fimbriatus too, but the tail looks kinda odd...

 

[deaxone]

yeah its the tail that confuses me,

 

[D.B.Johnson]

I think it may be fimbriatus with a regrown tail...?
