During the winter 2008 I will be doing research on a species of dwarf gecko
(Sphaerodactylus corticola soter)
Question: Does anyone have suggestions for tagging these very small creatures
(for identification purposes) without impeding their movement or causing damage
to the individual?
Try using a fluorecent dye marker. However, use the air gun type as they
will probably shed their tails if you try individually marking them with
the hypodermic needl

We use elastomer tags to ID small damselfish (Stegastes partitus) from
2 to 8 cm TL in size. The tags consist of a small amount of
flourescent colored rubberized plastic injected just under the skin.
Try googling Northwest Marine Technologies... look for VIE (Visible
