Rhacodactylus auriculatus
I found this gecko through our local Herp society. She was turned over from the pet trade due to an unusual birth deformity - Achondroplasia, or dwarfism. She was less than three inches in length, with short limbs and a large head. I named her "Thumbelina". Unfortunately my dear Thumbelina only lived three months with me before she succumbed to complications from her disorder. Still, she was a great little gecko.
