Round Island day gecko  (Phelsuma guentheri)

Description

Stocky in shape, the Round Island day gecko is one of the largest day geckoes of this genus. The colouration is a dull brownish-grey with a dark stripe connecting the nostrils, eyes and the ear hole. On the back dark spots may be present. In some individuals, the legs and toes have light yellow bars. The ventral side is white or yellowish. Unusually for the genus Phelsuma, the pupil of this gecko is vertically elliptical during the day (2).
