Kandian Half-toed Gecko

The Kandian half-toed gecko, also called the Sri Lanka leaf-nosed gecko or Kandyan gecko, is endemic to Sri Lanka. Its localities include Kandy, Matale, the Knuckles, Kantale, Giritale, Balangoda and Palatupana. The head is large with large granules on the snout, the digits are webbed at the base, and the tail is flattened with serrated edges. It is light brown to grey above with four or five dark angular cross markings and a dark stripe from nose to eye, and greyish cream below (Wikipedia, general species account).

It is arboreal on the plains, found on trees, boulders and in caves, and sometimes enters houses. It eats insects. Females lay two eggs at a time in rock crevices, tree holes and leaf litter between June and August, and hatchlings emerge in August and September. Nationally Least Concern (Sri Lanka National Red List 2012).
