Bibron's or Turner's?

[RandomWiktor]

I have been trying to nail down proper care info for my foster gecko and someone pointed out that the "Bibron's" I thought I had might be a Turner's gecko in actuality. I'm not sure though; I saw a couple of care sheets mention that male Bibron's have the prominent white spotting and Turner's do not. Can someone determine which species this is?

I've always read and heard that true Bibron's are very rare in captivity, especially in the U.S. I've never been sure of how to tell the differences though. I'd be curious to know exactly what to look for too.

I think that this is a Bibron's. I have some Bibron's at home and my male one looks like yours. The white points are characteristic for male Pachydactylus bibronii.

Its a turneri....although they are difficult to tell apart, the easiest way to tell is how much you paid for them! Bibroni are not in the hobby, and if they were, you would have paid an arm and a leg for them!
