Cyrtodactylus condorensis is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Côn Sơn Island in Vietnam.[1]
Etymology
The specific name, condorensis, refers to the island's former English name, Pulo Condore.
Description
C. condorensis may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 8 cm (3.1 in), plus a tail 10 cm (3.9 in) long. Dorsally, it is grayish-brown, with large dark spots on the body, and dark crossbars on the tail. Ventrally it is light brownish. On the head, there is a dark streak through each eye, the streaks joining on the nape. The male has enlarged femoral scales and 4-7 preanal pores.[2]
