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

Thank you very much Thomas!

How sure you are about the Pristurus gallagheri?

Very nice geckos, especially the portraits!

Greetings

Tomas

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?

Th

very interesting to know all these species, thanks !
