Stump-toed Gecko

Description:

Its most distinctive feature is the absence or near-absence of a claw on the inner digit of its fore and hind feet. It has a stout body and a row of enlarged scales running along the underside of the tail. They are grey to greyish brown by day, fading to whitish when active at night. The head and body are speckled with light and the gecko’s flattened tail is constricted at the base, giving it a carrot-like shape

Habitat:

Hallway

Notes:

When grasped roughly, this lizard tries to escape with a very alarming escape mechanism: twisting violently, tearing loose large patches of skin, startling the captor and loosening his grip. The damaged areas quickly heal.
