Rhacodactylus Auriculatus(Gargoyle Gecko)

The Gargoyle gecko is a species of gecko found in the southern end of the island of New Caledonia.  This reptile gets its common name from the cranial bumps that give the appearance of horns or ears; In fact, auriculatus is Latin for "ears" or "eared", depending on the case.  Other characteristics of this gecko include a thin prehensile tail which will regenerate if it drops off, as well as small toe pads.  Although these geckos have to ability to grip vines, branches, and other obstacles, most do not have the ability to climb sheer surfaces, such as glass. 

As small as one inch long (from snout to vent) and weighing 3 grams at hatching, it reaches an average length of 7 to 9 inches and 60 to 70 grams in weight.  They are considered a small to medium size gecko.  They occur in many colors, including varying shades of greys, browns, white, yellow, orange, and red, with varying patterns of blotches and striping
