Two African lizards, Lygodactylus picturatus PASTEUR, 1964 and L. luteopicturatus (PETERS, 1870), are often kept as vivarium reptiles in Europe. As both taxa are similar in body size, shape and colouration, they are sometimes wrongly identified in the pet trade (especially the name L. picturatus is often used for L. luteopicturatus). Can anyone provide me good morphological characters which would be helpful in correct identification of these geckos? Or maybe based on any new (molecular?) data these names are just synonyms???
Thank you in advance for your help and answers.
Best regards,
