About the Sabah Lowland Bent-toed Gecko

Yoshi's bow-fingered gecko (Cyrtodactylus yoshii) is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Malaysia. The specific name, yoshii, is in honor of Japanese biologist Ryozo Yoshii (died ca. 1999).

C. yoshii is found in the Malaysian state of Sabah on the island of Borneo. The preferred natural habitat of C. yoshii is forest, where it can be found on the trunks of trees and on the walls of man-made structures. Large and robust for its genus, C. yoshii may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 9.6 cm (3.8 in).

C. yoshii preys upon large insects. C. yoshii is oviparous, but further details of its reproductive habits are unknown. Das I (2005). "Bornean Geckos of the Genus Cyrtodactylus". Gekko 4 (2): 11–19.
