Lygodactylus
''Lygodactylus'' is a genus of Diurnality, diurnal geckos with 82 species. They are commonly referred to as dwarf geckos. They are mainly found in Africa and Madagascar although two species are found in South America. ''Lygodactylus picturatus'', the best known species, is found in Kenya and commonly known as the white-headed dwarf gecko. Recently, illegal importation from Tanzania of brightly colored (and Lygodactylus williamsi, critically-endangered), ''Lygodactylus williamsi,'' known as electric blue geckos, has been gaining attention for ''Lygodactylus'' geckos in the reptile trade. Since all trade in wild-caught ''Lygodactylus williamsi'' is illegal, shipments of these geckos are often intentionally mislabelled as ''Lygodactylus'' spp. or as ''Lygodactylus capensis''. As some customs officials have difficulty identifying members of this genus, ''Lygodactylus'' spp. identification guidehas been published online by CITES.

Lygodactylus Williamsi
''Lygodactylus williamsi'' is a critically endangered species of lizard in the Family (biology), family Gekkonidae. The species is Endemism, endemic to a small area of Tanzania. Common names include turquoise dwarf gecko, William's dwarf gecko and, in the pet trade, electric blue gecko or electric blue day gecko. Illegally wild-caught specimens are widely sold in the pet trade, often falsely promoted as captive-bred. Although ''L. williamsi'' breeds in captivity, the young require a lot of specific care, making large-scale breeding difficult. There is some specialist breeding, with one very large breeder claiming to have produced about a thousand individuals , but no large-scale professional breeding. A captive breeding project and studbook was initiated by EAZA-registered zoos in 2013. ''L. williamsi'', as a species, was placed under EU Appendix B protection (December 2014) and EU Appendix A protection (January 2017), and given CITES Appendix I protection in January 2017, as ...

Lygodactylus Bivittis
The tiny scaled gecko (''Lygodactylus bivittis'') is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Madagascar. Taxonomy ''L. bivittis'' was formerly placed in a monotypic genus ''Microscalabotes''. However, molecular data suggested that ''Microscalabotes'' is nested within ''Lygodactylus'', and the genus was synonymized. Habitat and behavior ''L. bivittis'' occurs in low and mid-elevation humid forests at elevations of above sea level. It is diurnal and lives in trees. It does not occur in heavily degraded areas and is threatened by the loss and degradation of humid forests in eastern Madagascar. Reproduction ''L. bivittis'' is oviparous Oviparous animals are animals that reproduce by depositing fertilized zygotes outside the body (i.e., by laying or spawning) in metabolically independent incubation organs known as eggs, which nurture the embryo into moving offsprings kno ....
