Qattara gecko

[1][2] T. mindiae is a relatively large and robust gecko, with a maximum snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 81 mm (3.2 in).

[3] The specific name, mindiae, commemorates Mindy Baha El Din, an environmentalist and herpetologist from Egypt.

[1] T. mindiae is arboreal and territorial, it occurs in small, isolated clusters of vegetation where it can be found at quite high densities.

It is nocturnal and has been observed walking slowly across on the sand between vegetation at night, and tracks show that it may move quite far between trees and bushes.

[1] In Egypt, it is expected to lose much of its currently suitable distribution in the future due to anthropogenic climate change.
