Field Notes

Description:

The main distinguishing characteristic of this species is four or five rear-facing dorsal chevrons. Even at night, when the gecko is overall paler, there is usually still a hint of these markings. While tubercles are present, they are not extremely prominent. (Jake Scott-FieldHerpForum)

Habitat:

In my friends patio.

Notes:

Non-native species in Florida
