this gecko is from the strophurus genus and Southern spotted velvet gecko is from oedura genus - / totaly diferent specie - not even close enough
answer re id of this one is not that simple - if it was i wouldnt ask for that

my guess would be a golden tailed gecko Strophurus taenicauda i dont know but if that is another geckos tail from the picture it looks similar to this one i found online! here is the link! http://www.epa.qld.gov.au/nature_con...ntailed_gecko/
let me know whAT YOU think! I am curious about it now too! I was thinking perhaps it was a breeding pair chilling out ! I am no expert but that certianly looks the closest similarity to me!
Cheers

the tail on the photo is S. taenicaudata, but this one is not they were just kept together , this one is more similar to S wiliamsi but i dont think it is williamsi as it doesnt have some features typical for williamsi - just think it might be new specie

I'd say a taenicauda, just missing the golden stripe. Can't think of any other strophs it could be. Send geckodan a PM if you want definate confirmation. But I'd say a taenicauda, especially with the tail of the other one in the pic.

it is not taenicaudata 100 % - attached photo of taenicaudata and 2 geckos together to compare,
those 2 geckos are on one photo together - it doesnt mean they are the same specie, I might have taken photo of this gecko together with knob tail gecko or whatever............

Well on it's own i would have said a taenicauda anyway regardless of the other one being there, there are no other smooth tailed strophs that i can think of that have that colouration. As I said, PM geckodan to be sure. What makes you think it can't be a taenicauda besides the missing stripe? Where did you get it from? what was it sold to you as?

My two cents worth would suggest a "gold less taenicauda". Its not williamsi, rankini, its not a spiny tailed form. Its concievable that if its possible to enhance the gold colour then its technically possible to lessen it as well. Very interesting. Also consider the possibility of a williamsi/taenicauda hybrid - they do occur in Europe but I have not seen one.
