Sri Lankan Spotted Bent-toed Gecko

The Sri Lankan spotted bent-toed gecko is a small, dark, turnip-tailed gecko endemic to Sri Lanka. It occurs in the midhills below 700 m, at Peradeniya, Gammaduwa, Kithulgala and the Knuckles. The body has small granular scales mixed with larger keeled ones and the toes are short. The back is dark brown to nearly black, typically with small white spots edged in brown, and the belly is light brown (Wikipedia, general species account).

It lives under and inside decaying fallen logs, and is also found inside houses and under piles of wood. Females typically lay two eggs at a time between April and July, and the 23 mm hatchlings lack the pale spots. No national Red List category was found under this name.
