Cyrtodactylus lekaguli, also known commonly as the tuk-kai Boonsong bent-toed gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Thailand.
The specific name, lekaguli, is in honor of Thai herpetologist Boonsong Lekagul (1907–1992). [2] [3]
C. lekaguli is found in southern Thailand, in the provinces of Phang Nga, Suret Thani, and Trang. [2]
The preferred natural habitats of C. lekaguli are forest and dry caves. [1]
Large for its genus, C. lekaguli may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 10.4 cm (4.1 in). Adult females are slightly smaller than adult males, an example of sexual dimorphism. [2]
The mode of reproduction of C. lekaguli is unknown. [2]
