I'd like to enter next year's calendar competition, but I dont know what species my gecko is exactly and what gender he/she is. The photo im posting wont be the final image, only a low res "draft".
Any help will be appreciated.

Looks like Tarentola mauritanica to me. To get sex information, we need to see the area around the vent (between the legs on the underside), which is best done by getting it to climb on some glass and shooting through.

Your name is Scherz, your answer as well? There of course is no Hemidactylus mauretanica on this world. Also the animal is neither a Hemidactylus nor a Tarentola mauretanica. The animal look tarentolaish on first glimpse, OK, but I would rather say, its a Chondrodactylus. However, the details in keeling of the scales makes me wonder...so I better so not say more.

Ah Ingo, you are quite right, my bad - I looked at it in a rush. This does indeed look like Chondrodactylus sp.. Possibly C. turneri or C. bibronii.

Also there is no need for animosity, Ingo. I was just trying to be helpful.

Yes haha, I spent like half an hour typing a reply and somebody said it for me.
It might be Bibron's(Bibronii) because I got this specimen myself in the wild, normally if you buy a Bibron's it's a Turner's(Turneri). I read that the males have white spots and yesterday while I was taking some photos, I saw that my gecko had those white spots. So in theory, if my gecko is a Chondrodactylus Bibronii or a Chondrodactylus Turneri he is a male.

And also maybe if anybody could specify the cage setup I should use?
Could it be possible for a gecko's toe to be broken but they can still use it perfect, or what is wrong?
And if it is broken will it heal?

Hi Mark,

I did not want to offend you. Sorry if it came across like that. I was just wondering if you were joking around and thought it would be good for the threadstarter to correct that erroneius statement.
What do you think of the keels? really a turneri?
In any case female...
