Reptile & Amphibian Forums

Hey guys, i just got a job at a local pet store. They despretly needed a reptile person. They have this gecko there and are uncertin of its species (i know i know) could anyone give a few pointers on what species it is so i could do some research on it?

thanks alot in advance,
Mark Bueno

P.S sorry the pic is blury, it was taken from my cell phone... kinda hard to keep the lil thing still...

I am 95% sure it is one of Moorish/Crocodile Gecko (Tarentola mauritanica ssp.) subspecies. They are an arboreal (tree)/rupicolous (rock-dwelling) species from Northern Africa (semi-arid). The general care you will find for Crocodile geckos will apply to him. If it is not T. mauritanica it is a darkly colored Tarentola (Sahelogecko) annularis; a "cousin" of the Moorish gecko. T. annularis or Four spot/White spotted gecko are found in the arid regions of Northern and Central Africa; they as well are arboreal. I still think it is T. mauritanica. Good looking out for the lil guy.
