Ptyodactylus

Ptyodactylus is a genus of geckos, which are commonly known as fan-fingered geckos.

The genus Ptyodactylus is distributed across dry areas of Africa and the Middle East.

The common name, fan-fingered geckos, is derived from the pattern of the straight toes which are splayed out like the pattern of a snowflake.

The pads on the ventral surface of the toes are adhesive, and each toe has a retractable claw.
