}}

Pachydactylus geitje, also known as the ocellated gecko, ocellated thick-toed gecko or Cradock thick-toed gecko, is a tiny species of thick-toed gecko, which is indigenous to the Western Cape of South Africa.

Description

Pachydactylus geitje is a very colourful, mottled little gecko. Its smooth (almost silky) body is usually covered in dark-edged white spots.

Habitat

Pachydactylus geitje typically lives on the ground among debris and under rocks. Further inland it only lives higher in the mountains where rocky outcrops provide it with sufficient places to hide.

Reproduction

Pachydactylus geitje lays a clutch of two tiny eggs in the summer.
