By:   Mike Bates
Comment:   Either Bibron's (Pachydactylus bibronii) or Turner's (P. turneri) Thick-toed Gecko. The locality is more-or-less on the boundary of the ranges of these two very similar species.

Comment:   The diagnostic characters ar enot visible in the picture and all I can say, rather weakly, is that looks more like bibronii.
