South Africa has 70 recognized species of geckos. The largest genera being Pachydactylus(Pachy= thick - Dactyl=toed - Thick toed geckos). Geckos occupy the entire country, but diversity is greatest in areas providing rocky-substrates. Terrestrial geckos occur from coastal sands to the bushveld and in some cases in seasonally flooded esturaine vegetation.
Below are just some of my images to share
Common Barking Gecko - Ptenopus garrulus
Giant Ground Gecko - Chondrodactylus anguilifer
Striped leaf-toed gecko - Goggia lineata
Austens dune gecko - Pachydactylus austeni
Amoenas thick toed gecko - Pachydactylus amoenus
Richtersveld thick toed gecko - Pachydactylus carinatus
Haackes thick toed gecko - Pachydactylus haackei
Velvet Gecko - Homopholis wahlbergii
Spotted Dwarf gecko - Lygodactylus occelatus

There are some awesome geckos there. I use to have pet geckos when I lived in RSA, they were leopard geckos though.

"They have numerous microscopic hooks that catch in the slightest irregularities, even those in the surface of glass, and so a gecko can cling to all but the most highly polished surfaces" (The International Wildlife Encyclopedia). Thank you for sharing . good photo
