📚 Natural History
Reproduction
Reproductive mode (Reptiles)
Oviparous
Oviparous. Like most geckos, it lays two spherical eggs at a time, plastered to a tree-trunk under loose bark, or walls of buildings. The lizard seems to use the same site for egg laying for several years, as evidenced by old, hatched egg shells sticking to the site.
