YELLOW-HEADED GECKO
Yellow-headed Geckos where introduced to the Florida Keys and the Miami area, but have become increasingly uncommon, with none being reported since 1971. They are native to the West Indies and Cuba and are also found in Central and South America. Males with their unmistakable yellowish heads and dark blue to black bodies can often be seen clinging to the underside of low horizontal branches. Females are mottled grayish lizards often with a light collar line. These extremely wary lizards are often seen hanging from the underside of low, large, rough-barked limbs or are found in rock and rubble piles and behind exfoliating tree bark.
Basking Yellow-headed Geckos are dark brown to black, but fad to gray or blue-green (males) at cooling nighttime temperatures with their tails having white tips. These Geckos have round pupils and lack toepads. Adult Yellow-headed Geckos are only 2 ½ to 3 ½ inches long.
