Dear Rev. de Silva,
There are some resources on the internet available as well as some
people who work with Sphaerodactylus.
Try contacting Dr. Richard Thomas ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) who
specializes in this genus. He is in Puerto Rico, (787)764-0000, x4888.
Also try looking at Blair Hedge's Caribherp WebKey,
http://evo.bio.psu.edu/caribherp/
Last, but not least is Father Alejandro Sanchez's great website,
http://www.kingsnake.com/westindian/ also about West Indian
herpetofauna.
If you want to send me some photos ([EMAIL PROTECTED]) I can circulate
them among a few people I know who also might have an idea of what it
might be.
Please keep the list informed of what you find out.
Best, Yuri

Dear Sir / Madam,
I found your beautiful Gecko website and I am hoping that you can post
the following message among your members that someone may be able to
help me identify a "new" Gecko of the genus Sphaerodactylus that I
recently found. I live in the tiny Grenadine islands found between
St. Vincent and Grenada in the Southern Caribbean Sea area. I am aware
that our area has two species - Sphaerodactylus vincenti and
Sphaerodactylus kirbyi both of which I know. This "new" species is,
however, extremely distinctive in its coloration and does not appear
to be any of the existing species listed above. I do have photographs
of this "new" species and need to know how to go about identifying
this "new" species.
Sincerely,
Rev. Mark de Silva
Mayreau Island
Southern Grenadines
St. Vincent and the Grenadines
