What kind of gecko is this?

LauraV Dec 10, 2003 07:54 PM

By looks alone I would guess some sort of female desert arboreal gecko??

To care for her properly, I would like to know a name, so I can investigate her needs. She is very calm and has not offerend to bite at all. Similar to Leopard geckos in attitude.

She is in full shed in the pics, but I think you can get an idea of her markings.

She has apparently suffered a mild injury at some point to her jaw, but she is very fat, so is eating with no problem.

Thanks for your help.
