About the Angola Dwarf Gecko
The Angola dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus angolensis) is a species of gecko native to southern Africa, where geckos in general have a high diversity. It is likely that they originated from Madagascar. They have been found in Angola, Zimbabwe, Tanzania, South Africa, the Democratic Republic of the Congo, Mozambique, Botswana, and Namibia.
