		However, based on the juveniles and gravid females collected to date, and the fact that Sphaerodactylus eggs take 2 to 3 months to hatch (Rivero 1978), the reproductive season is surmised to last from about March to November.
		At that time, it was noted that a dense population of introduced fl rats (Rattus rattus) were present on the island and could be affecting the gecko's abundance.
		The surveys should be conducted at least four times a year to determine the gecko's seasonal fluctuations in abundance and distribution, and its potential relationship to rats.

		Sphaerodactylus are small, ground-dwelling gecko lizards usually found under rocks, logs, leaf-litter and trash.
		They are crepuscular (active at twilight) and secretive, with round eye-pupils and digits terminating in a pad which hides the claws, unlike anoles, the other prominent small lizard found in the CNF (Wildlife Facts-June 2003).
		The underbody is usually orange or reddish-pink with a gray throat that may have dark mottled areas.

		ABSTRACT.-Navassa Island, a small (5.2 km 2) island located in the Caribbean Sea between Hispaniola and Jamaica, historically supported a herpetofauna thought to consist of eight endemic squamate reptiles, half of which are presumably extinct.
		The four extant species (Aristelliger cochranae, Sphaerodactylus becki, Anolis longiceps, Celestusbadius) are abundant.
		All are habitat generalists and considerable interspecific spatial niche overlap was evident.

	Re: [Gecko] Adopted Sphaerodactyulus notatus gravid?
		Many thanks for your detailed advice for my Sphaerodactylus notatus.
		I only have two questions: "The medium bordering the delicup is kept moist" Daniel, is that the very outside edges of the peat/sand mixture next to the sides of the delicup?
		The medium bordering the delicup is kept moist, and the resulting air humidity keeps the leaf moist, which provides the egg with some managable direct contact with moisture.

		There are (were?) three tiny little Sphaerodactylus geckos living in the Florida keys.
		The Florida Reef Gecko (Sphaerodactylus notatus notatus) is considered to be the only native gecko in Florida.
		It's very similar to the Florida Reef Gecko, but its snout is a little pointier, its scales a little smoother, and it climbs a little better (and in my very brief experience, isn't quite as good at escaping).

		Finally, scalation characteristics range from the tile-like network (smooth, cycloid, imbricate) to be found on Teratoscincus, Geckolepis, and Teratolepis, to among some of the most minute, velvety-textured, granular scales exhibited in several Oedura species.
		: Among the genera which attain the smallest of size, the Sphaerodactylus species must surely be the most recognized, with several growing to only 30 mm in total length.
		Some genera exhibit the interesting peculiarity of having both diurnal and nocturnal activity (even with some individual species exhibiting both).

	SPHAERODACTYLUS GECKOS
		The genus Sphaerodactylus is extremely large, incorporating at least 70 species.
		There are not many Sphaerodactylus species available to keepers in the US as far as I am aware, while I cannot recall seeing a single one ever for sale in Europe.
		In my opinion these geckos are for specialists rather than the average hobbyist, which is not to say that they are very difficult to keep, nor that they should be kept in less optimum conditions than other captive herptiles.

Blair Hedges, of Pennsylvania State University, and Richard Thomas, of the University of Puerto Rico.
		Just over half an inch long from the tip of its snout to the base of its tail, the lizard ties its cousin S. parthenopion for the title of smallest amniote--a group that includes reptiles, mammals, and birds.
