[Note Guidelines] Photographer's Note
Back from bicycling:
By turning stones in the desert steppe of Southern Tunisia near Ksar Ghilane I found this tiny Gekkonid, it is (tentatively) Stenodactylus stenodactylus, Lichtenstein's Short fingered Gecko. It was'nt running away and I put the stone back on. This is a kind of Gecko that does not climb walls but digs and runs at night on sand and rock. Cicindela has presented this animal from the wild on TN before.
ID: Three small Gekkonids occur in this region: Stenodactylus petrii, S. stenodactylus and Tropionotus tripolitanus.
Technical stuff: I have a problem to get the pictures from the desert sharp on TN (the originals are in focus and sharp). Hopefully I will find out the reason.

Hallo Dieter nochmals,
Ein hübscher kleiner Gecko, eine feine Begenung in der Wüste. Das Bild ist ein wenig überbelichtet, aber als Dokument sowieso gültig.
herzliche Grüsse
Anne
