Gekkonidae: Chondrodactylus bibronii (Smith, 1846) - Bibron's Thick-toed Gecko
Chondrodactylus bibronii occurs mainly in the Cape Provinces of the Republic of South Africa, barely extending into the adjacent Free State and Namibia (Branch 2004). They are gregarious and often live in dense colonies on rocky outcrops, but also under loose tree bark and around houses (Branch 2004). The following helminths: Cestoda, cyclophyllid metacestodes; Nematoda, Skrjabinelazia ornata, Spauligodon smithi; Acanthocephala, cystacanth were previously reported in C. bibronii (as Pachydactylus bibronii) by Goldberg and Bursey (2002a). The purpose of this note is to add to the helminth list of C. bibronii.
