Blanc's dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus blanci) is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to central Madagascar.[2] They are the least known species of dwarf geckos in Madagascar.[3] Blanc's dwarf geckos are one out of eleven gecko species that are protected in Madagascar. Hence, collecting them is only allowed with an appropriate permit.[4]
Both the specific name, blanci, and the common name, Blanc's dwarf gecko, are in honor of French herpetologist Charles Pierre Blanc (born 1933).[5]
The preferred natural habitat of L. blanci is large rocks.[2] Blanc's dwarf geckos also use buildings and tall trees near freshwater wetlands as their habitat. This species has been observed to be adapted to human environments.[4]
A large species for its genus, L. blanci may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of almost 4 cm (1.6 in).[2] Blanc's dwarf geckos have whorled tails.[2] The throat is usually spotted, which can lead to the formation of longitudinal lines.
Lygodactylus blanci is oviparous.[2] Based on the observations of locals in Madagascar, this species appears to be most active during the month of October and eggs are seen in January and February.[4]
Mining, logging, wood harvesting, and habitat changes are some of the threats Blanc's dwarf gecko faces to sustain its existence.[1]
