Cyrtodactylus condorensis

Cyrtodactylus condorensis (Cyrtodactylus condorensis) is an agamid or gecko recorded for Vietnam in the project inventory. The supporting occurrence note is “Expert range list”. Its use of the exact scientific name is important because Southeast Asian lizard taxonomy changes frequently and several close relatives were described only recently. Where a familiar English name is present it is retained; otherwise the scientific name avoids inventing an unsupported vernacular name (project species data; Reptile Database taxonomy).

Bent-toed geckos are generally nocturnal insect hunters that climb rock, karst, tree trunks or forest surfaces and shelter in crevices by day. Many Vietnamese species have extremely small ranges and are diagnosed through colour pattern, scale counts, body proportions and genetics. Reproduction commonly involves eggs, but no clutch figure is inferred here. These are genus-level ecological notes (general Cyrtodactylus ecology; Reptile Database).
