Paroedura rennerae
—
Kirindy Leaf-toed Gecko
I am a little sad that this species was split off in 2021, because it means that I still haven't seen the gloriously named Paroedura bastardi. I will have to go back.
Here is a list of all the reptiles and frogs I saw on this 2023 trip to Madagascar.
The little babies are very distinctive, which helps distinguish a population of this species from a population of similar-looking species. The little babies are also very cute!
