gecko ID help please

[Jeannine]

hi there, a lady on another forum posted a photo of a gecko but she has no idea on what it is, ive gotten permission from her to post it in here in the hope someone can identify it and i can let her know

thank you in advance

Noone would be able to identify that with 100% accuracy based on that image.

Are you able to get a more focused image?

Deleted.

 

[Jeannine]

sorry rocket it was the only photo she posted

thanks bluetongue, i was half right i suspected the marbled gecko bit :lol: this place is rubbing off on me


you edited while i was answering bluetongue, ill ask her if she can pm me a state and see if she can get a better photo

ok she lives in Canberra, does that help?

where bouts is it found?

my first thought was christinus marmoratus but something isnt right (the pic is the biggest reason lolol)
either christinus marmoratus or a gehyra, location would be great!

Not G.variegata, (unless she has the hands of a 6yo)

 

[Jeannine]

shes in Canberra, thats all i know so far as shes not been back to the other forum yet

Marbled Gecko (Christinus marmoratus)

I am not sure why, but the photo posted was initially really fuzzy. You couldn’t make out the fingers and it looked like the lizard was being held on a cloth. I revised my initial ID based on the apparent shape of the digits. With the photo now up, that was clearly wrong.

Goldmember, an excellent observation.

Jeannine, the knowledge obviously is rubbing off on you. That’s great.

Scott, I am always happy when I can concur with you.
