No, that Crossobamon is most certainly a Crossobamon orientalis. There is a
form of Crossobamon orientalis with Stenodactylus chracateristics going
around. Many are calling these Stenodactylus doriae. I personally feel
these are incorrectly identified. S. doriae has an extremely triangular
snount. I have seen very excellent photos of these animals, unfortuneatly
these are not on any site. True S. doriae is rather rare in this country
(USA) from what I know. These crossobamon also have been called S. petrii.
True petrii have a nice reticulated pattern, the ones pictured in that
Reptiles issue a month or two ago are petrii. Crossobamon are characterized
by those black or brown lateral stripes running down the side of them. Right
now I am keeping that species. That is the best way. Keep them like a
Teratoscincus. I spray them done indvidually each night, not the whole cage.
