Dunno what Glades actually has, but there are a some great pictures of
this species at www.uroplatus.de. They look something like a 'normal'
steno crossed with a Palmatogecko and stretched thin in all parts.
Wonderfully strange-looking little animals. According to the article
in Fauna of Saudi Arabia Vol II that Tony recommended they are also in the
7-10cm total length range, despite the apparent elongation. I just feel
sorry for the female in that picture when she lays that egg - it's much
bigger than her head!
