Thick-Toed Geckos

Turner's Thick-Toed Gecko, Chondrodactylus turneri, is a common inhabitant of the northern and eastern parts of South Africa.

It is superficially near identical to Bibron's Thick-Toed Gecko, C. bibronii, which occurs to the west and inhabits more arid habitats.

They are mostly rock-living, but can often be seen hunting on the ground at night. It is usually the most common gecko wherever it occurs.

They often shelter communally, and as many as five may be found in the same hiding place.
