Thanks Manu, At least I have some splinter of a memory left, although I should have known better than to remember something Parker reclassifies ;) bwaa haaa haa.

Hemidactylus squamulatus Tornier (1896) 1896 Hemidactylus squamulatus Tornier 1897 Hemidactylus werneri Tornier 1902 Hemidactylus tornieri Mocquard 1913 Hemidactylus tropidolepis Nieden 1923 Hemidactylus alluaudi Angel 1923 Hemidactylus tropidolepis squamulatus Calabresi 1923 Hemidactylus citernii Loveridge 1929 Hemidactylus werneri werneri Loveridge 1933 Hemidactylus werneri alluaudi Loveridge 1942 Teratolepis squamulatus Parker 1947 Hemidactylus tropidolepis squamulatus Loveridge Hemidactylus tropidolepis Mocquard (1888) 1888 Hemidactylus tropidolepis Mocquard 1936 Hemidactylus werneri werneri Loveridge 1942 Teratolepis tropidolepis Parker 1947 Hemidactylus tropidolepis tropidolepis Loveridge H.tropidolepis occurs in Somalia and Northern Kenya wheras H.squamulatus occurs more south, like Southern Kenya and Tanzania. The species imported into the US is thus motre likely H. squamulatus. -Emmanuel -----Original Message----- From: James Corell [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: November 28, 2001 10:36 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Gecko] Gluing Hemidactylus / H.squamulatus Thanks Lyle, I had cc'd him as well. :) Jamie -----Original Message----- From: Lyle Puente [mailto:[EMAIL PROTECTED]] Sent: Wednesday, November 28, 2001 8:54 PM To: [EMAIL PROTECTED] Subject: RE: [Gecko] Gluing Hemidactylus / H.squamulatus >I'm not sure if Aaron was involved or not but I believe Greg JWC >thought it was H.squamulatus.

I thought we had keyed them out to be H.squamulatus? I just went to check out EMBL and see a lack of the previous synonym Teratolepis squamulatus that I thought I remembered from Loveridge? Maybe I'm losing my mind...is Greg still on here?

They are highly variable in color and pattern. I have some that are striped. They are very interesting in that they are by preference terrestrial, but possess lamellae that are capable of bringing the species right up the glass. I keep this species in groups of 1.2 and 1.3 and all are thriving. To my knowledge, this is the only Hemidactylus species (out of about 20 that I have kept) which exhibits this terrestrial preference. What is further interesting about them is that they possess tile-like imbricate scales (like Teratoscincus) on the tail. They are very cool to work with, and I recommend them to anyone - if they can find them.
