Goggia braacki, also known commonly as Braack's dwarf leaf-toed gecko, Braack's pygmy gecko, and the Karoo leaf-toed gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to South Africa. [2]
The specific name, braacki, is in honor of South African herpetologist Harold H. Braack. [3]
The preferred natural habitat of G. braacki is rocky areas of montane grassland. [1]
Adults of G. braacki have a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 2.7–3.5 cm (1.1–1.4 in). [2]
Afrogecko is a genus of small leaf-toed geckos, lizards in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is endemic to southern Africa. The genus was revised in 2014 by Heinicke et al.
Pachydactylus is a genus of insectivorous geckos, lizards in the family Gekkonidae. The genus is endemic to Africa, and member species are commonly known as thick-toed geckos. The genus also displays rich speciation, having 57 distinct species identified when compared to other closely related gecko genera like Rhoptropus, most of which have emerged since 35Ma. It has been suggested that the reason for this rich speciation not from adaptive radiation nor nonadaptive radiation, but that the genus represents a clade somewhere between the two drivers of speciation. P. bibronii geckos have been used by NASA as animal models for experimentation.
Cyrtodactylus is a diverse genus of Asian geckos, commonly known as bent-toed geckos, bow-fingered geckos, and forest geckos. The genus has at least 300 described species as of 2020, which makes it the largest of all gecko genera.

The Siamese leaf-toed gecko is a species of gecko found in South Asia. This is the type species of the genus Dixonius, named after James R. Dixon from Texas A&M University.
James Ray Dixon was professor emeritus and curator emeritus of amphibians and reptiles at the Texas Cooperative Wildlife Collection at Texas A&M University. He lived in El Campo, Texas throughout most of his childhood. He published prolifically on the subject of herpetology in his distinguished career, authoring and co-authoring several books, book chapters, and numerous peer reviewed notes and articles, describing two new genera, and many new species, earning him a reputation as one of the most prominent herpetologists of his generation. His main research focus was morphology based systematics of amphibians and reptiles worldwide with emphasis on Texas, US, Mexico, Central America, and South America, although bibliographies, conservation, ecology, life history and zoogeography have all been the subjects of his extensive publications.
