Elok or Brevi?

Ok, I realize we have gone thru this before...sorta.


Is there any easy way to tell the difference, at a glance, between Elok and Brevipalmatus? I see all of these geckos being sold as Brevipalmatus, and the price reflects that they are not costing a lot wholesale.

I have a lone female, WC, who I managed to hatch two beautiful little bouncing babies from, and now the issue of what to label the babies has come up.

The female was traded to me for a few scorpions by another vendor, so I have to believe that my girl is likely a brevi, based on the perceived value.

So if anyone knows a relatively easy way to tell, I would be very grateful.

The easiest way to differentiate between them is the tail of C. elok is square in cross section; whereas the tail of C. brevipalmatus is round in cross section.

Most of the animals I've seen in captivity (including my own colony) are C. elok.
