Rhynchoedura ornata
—
Western Beaked Gecko
Also known as:
Ornate Beaked Gecko
These pretty little pointy-nosed geckos are termite-eating specialists.
These two must have just recently woken up and climbed out of their daytime hiding places, because they are still covered with the fine red sand of the Red Center.
Stand up proudly, little gecko!
