I was recently given a small gecko that has a series of brown v-shaped bands running down its back. The whole body seems covered in a swire of sandy grey and brown. Scales are grandular. Body length is about 4.8 inches (snout to tail-tip). The gecko DOES NOT have moveable eyelids, and although it has toe pads, it can't climb glass very well. Tail somewhat prehensile. Movement is slow and more like that of a panther gecko than, say, a house gecko. Overall the animal is like a dark colored banded panther gecko. It was sold as an AFRICAN CLAWED GECKO, and the people at the shop think it might be a FAT-TAIL, which it is certainly not. The person who gave it to me really thinks its a VELVET GECKO, but the snout looks too round.
Any ideas?
