Ptyodactylus hasselquistii (Donndorff, 1798).

Length up to 98 mm. A medium-sized, slender gecko with slender free digits that are strongly dilated only at the tips forming its characteristic triangular terminal pads. The lamellae on the underside of the terminal pad are divided and radiate, in a fan-like manner, outwards from the digit. The head is narrow and relatively flat; the snout is elongated. Color varies greatly according to the surroundings, but is generally a light pinkish-grey; the pattern is composed of fairly well defined, dark, transverse bands on dorsum and tail. The Fan-toed Gecko lives in a wide variety of habitats. In the Nile Valley and on the Red Sea coast, it is associated with man and is found on and in buildings. In the wadis of the Eastern Desert and South Sinai, it is found on boulders, vertical rock faces, under ledges, and in caves. Two eggs are laid and are glued to rocks in secure localities; sometimes the eggs are laid communally. Vocalization consists of a series of loud clicks. In Egypt, this common gecko is found in the Nile Valley, Eastern Desert, and South Sinai. Its range also extends from northern Sudan, east of the Nile, through Egypt to southern Israel and Jordan to Arabia.
