IMG_9994-0(W) Smith's Green-eyed Gecko, Large Forest Gecko (Gekko smithii)
Their bites packed a punch so beware.
Location: Lowland of Selangor.
Call: Some sort like a soft bark www.youtube.com/watch?v=4RKn_nJJ4pY
Size: 1 ft
According to Grismer et al (2022),
-Gekko smithii sensu stricto is restricted to southern Thailand south of the Isthmus of Kra and Peninsular Malaysia west of the Banjaran (mountain range) Titiwangsa, being that the type locality is on Penang Island, Penang.
-Gekko hulk sp. nov. is a new species from extreme southern Thailand and Peninsular Malaysia east of the Banjaran Titiwangsa and five east coast islands—the type locality being Pulau (island) Tioman, Pahang.
-Gekko cf. albofasciolatus is tentatively used to include Bornean populations west of the Iran Mountains in Sabah and Sarawak which, in the absence of molecular data, cannot unequivocally be separated morphologically from G. albofasciolatus from the type locality at Banjarmasin, Kalimantan, Indonesia east of the Iran Mountains
