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.

Dear Jürgen!

Again great finds! I try to identify some, although I’ve never been to the South and I don't really know the "new" Hemidactylus

1: No idea but really most probably a sptalurus NF – never seen it
2: H. robustus
3: H. flaviviridis – not sure
4: ??? H. luqueorum
5: H. festivus
6. H. flaviviridis
7. H. paucituberculatus ?
8. ? H. homoeolepis
9. – 11. No idea (mybe some of them yet to describe)
12. Pristurus gallagheri
13. Pristurus celerrimus
14. P. celerrimus
15. Ptyodactylus hasselquistii
16. P. hasselquistii

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?
