Are the S.petrii in your pictures at www.gekkota.com from Morocco? Are
these the small or large form?
I've just taken some pics of the geckos I got from Neil Meister, and will
post them once I get them developed.
I'm under the impression that most Stenodactylus in the pet trade come from
Israel and Egypt. Does anyone here know if that's the case?

Reminds me of an almost identical scene out my apartment window in a slum
in Detroit in 1967... The soldiers were quieter, but it was night time.

The recent article in Reptiles said that Geckonia and Stenodactylus are
found together, but the author didn't know how they were partitioning
resources so they could coexist. Any ideas from your own observations?
Also, from what I've read, Geckonia is found in the more humid coastal
areas of Morocco. Were you finding them in the more arid interior as
well? How did they differ from the coastal populations?
