Hi Camille As the book says this species appears to be confined to the Kimboza Forest in Tanzania. It must be rare and in danger. I found this on a Tanzania Ministry of Natural Resources website:
"However, the small remaining and isolated portion of the coastal forests as a result of forest loss and fragmentation have concentrated a variety of endemic species in restricted areas. As an example, the blue gecko Lygodactylus williamsi, is an endemic lizard species found only on Pandanus stem in Kimboza forest reserve in Morogoro region. Due to small remaining portion of these coastal forests, they are disappearing at an alarming rate. Forests in the coastal zone amount to only 13% of the zone and 75% of these forests are reserves."
