I have posted two other messages on this same topic, the first resulting in answers leading me to believe that the gecko in question is a Teratscincus. The closest thing I have come it is a "Dwarf wonder gecko", or Teratscincus microlepis. However, the coloring and paterns are incorrect, and the tail on the magic no named gecko is VERY skinny... so skinny that it vibrates for a few seconds, like wire, after you pick him up. I am going to keep asking, until I figure this out! SO PLEASE, if anyone has any idea what this mysterious creature is, please help me!Thank you!

It has to be Stenodactylus khobarensis (or what used to be labeled as khobarensis, some called petrii). Go to www.gekkota.com, then click "Gecko Photos," go to the subfamily Gekkoninae, then go to the page with Stenodactylus. Once you open up the Stenodactylus page there will be a photo of what is called "Stenodactylus sp." (undescried species of Stenodactylus. I believe that is what you are speaking of. The species of Stenodactylus are all mixed up. I have a caresheet I wrote on that species (sp., khobarensis, petrii, or whatever). If that is the species, post back, and I will post a link.
