CHACO STRAIGHT-TOED GECKO Homonota fasciata
With his skin covered in a series of warts and handsome reticulated pattern this small gecko is quite distinctive. Unlike other members of his family he is a terrestrial species, lacking the globular ends to the toes that enable other geckoes to effortlessly scale vertical surfaces. This species has recently changed its scientific name, previously, and perhaps a little unfairly, being known as Homonota horribilis!!
