Cuban Ashy Gecko

Varadero, Cuba

The Cuban Ashy Gecko is the largest of the North American "dwarf geckos," although it only reaches 2.75 in. (7 cm) TL.
Its head, body, tail and legs are covered with a network of tiny salt and pepper spots on a dark gray-brown background.
Like many geckos, it can be paler at night.
Juveniles are strikingly different, with bold black crossbands on the head and body over a greenish gray color and a reddish tail.
It has smooth granular scales along the back, with a small spine-like scale over each eye.
