Looks like Gecko marmoratus, the somewhat bulkier one is Pachydactylus bibroni.

Good luck,

"Gecko marmoratus" is not a valid name. There is a Christinus marmoratus and a Gekko grossmanni, both called marbled geckos. The one pictured here is Gekko grossmanni (large variant). The Pachydactylus belongs to the species turneri. P. bibroni is not available at all outside South Africa.

You are probably right. Well, i was close with Pachydactylus.

Say, could you be Ingo Kober who wrote the book about L. lepidus?

Greetings, Jan.

Hi,

the gecko in the second pic is in fact a marbled gecko, Gekko grossmanni (large variant). The other two are bibrons, Pachydactylus turneri.
