Karamoja dwarf gecko reveal its distinctive features. Its body is adorned with a rich brown hue, accentuated by white spots running along its back. In some instances, a lighter-colored gecko showcases an almost marbled pattern on its scales. The gecko's eyes, a mesmerizing shade of brown, are adorned with a striking black circular pupil.
A captivating pattern of U and V-shaped stripes adorns its throat, adding to its allure.

WOW Sounds like a description in TMZ of a starlet parading down the red carpet. :O)


A previously unknown species, White Lizard
