Oman Part 4 Geckos

[Jürgen Gebhart]

Geckos, Geckos, Geckos, Geckos all over, Oman is the Gecko-country.
Geckos during the Day and during the night, Geckos on houses, Geckos on threes,
Geckos in the mountains, Geckos on the beach, Geckos under trash, Geckos under Stones.
I never saw that many Geckos during a Trip.
Sadly I don`t paid much attention to make good pictures and I don`t picture all we saw.

At first the Geckos I think I know, hopefully I`m right, If not please correct me.

4: ??? H. luqueorum
5: H. festivus
6. H. flaviviridis
7. H. paucituberculatus ?

12. Pristurus gallagheri
13. Pristurus celerrimus
14. P. celerrimus
15. Ptyodactylus hasselquistii

Thank you very much Thomas!

How sure you are about the Pristurus gallagheri?

[Tomas Klacek]

Very nice geckos, especially the portraits!

Greetings

Jürgen,

P. gallgheri has a typical dorsal stripe. Also the mountain poulation of P. rupestris shows this stripe, but the gecko looks very much like a P. (gasperetti) gallagheri.
P. gallagheri also inhabits very often trees - isn't this a tree, on which it climbs?
