Herp of the day: Electric blue gecko

The electric blue gecko (Lygodactylus williamsi) is a critically endangered species of lizard, endemic to a small area of Tanzania. Common names include turquoise dwarf gecko and William's dwarf gecko.

This gecko's survival is mostly threatened by (entirely illegal) collection for the international pet trade and the population is thought to be declining rapidly.

Males are bright blue with heavy black throat stripes, visible preanal pores, and hemipenile bulges. The females range from brown or bronze to bright green, and have little to no black on their throat.

I cannot believe that I walked away from this #gorgeous Electric Blue Day #gecko (Lygodactylus williamsi)today at the #reptileshow. The breeder offered me an amazing deal and I was half way ready to pull the trigger. Not having the right enclosure and setup ready for it though was the deal breaker. Sometimes you need to know when to walk away. Still beating myself up though! #electricbluedaygecko #lygodactyluswilliamsi #reptilesofinstagram #reptilelifestyle #areareptiles #reptiles #daygeckos
