Peters's Bent-toed Gecko
Cyrtodactylus consobrinus
Among the most beautiful of Southeast Asia's geckos, this species inhabits lowland primary rainforest or mature secondary forest.
The background colour is dark brown or blackish in juveniles, and speckled medium brown in adults. The species is easily identified by the narrow bands of white or cream across the dorsum and along the tail, In adults these bands become dark-edged. The head is decorated with a symmetrical arrangement of pale or cream reticulations.
By day this gecko will lie hidden in tree or rock crevices, only emerging after the forest is in full darkness.
