Gekko something or another?

[MauricesExoticPets]

This is not my gecko, the original picture can be found at:

Underground Reptiles, Inc. - Geckos

Again this one isn't mine, the original belongs to underground reptiles as well.

They have it listed as Skeleton Gecko, and of course when Google needs to be your friend it kind of dumps on you. LOL

I would guess Gekko something or another, close to vittatus maybe but I've not seen them called Skeletons geckos so who knows?

No,
the first answer was correct. Irt is an adult of at least 2 years of the "pale morph" of Gekko vittatus.

I thought it looked exactly like a G. vittatus but the pattern being so muted (pale) threw me off. Thank you.

Is the pale morph a locality thing or genetic trait found across the population?

Hmm...... well then it fooled me

Gekko vittatus

or;

Lined gecko
White-lined gecko
Skeleton gecko
Skunk gecko
Striped gecko
Sago gecko
Palm gecko

It gets crazy when there are seven common names in use for the same species.

There's only one name that matters, Gekko vittatus

 

[MauricesExoticPets]

Exactly, its just bothersome with a bunch of common names floating around.
