Goniurosaurus toyamai
Rare visitor: recorded only occasionally in this country
Goniurosaurus toyamai (Goniurosaurus toyamai) is an eyelid gecko also called Iheja Ground Gecko or Toyama's Ground Gecko, recognised as a distinct member of the family Eublepharidae. Identification should combine documented pattern, scalation, body form and locality because related Japanese reptiles may be very similar. Claims here are limited to the opened species accounts (Wikipedia, general species account; Reptile Database). Field identification should therefore remain cautious wherever photographs or diagnostic measurements are unavailable.
It is endemic to Iheyajima in Japan's Ryukyu Islands; accessible accounts establish that single-island distribution but leave detailed diet, activity and reproductive information insufficiently documented. Information absent from those species-level sources is omitted rather than inferred from relatives. Japanese occurrence follows the site's catalogue and the opened distribution accounts (Wikipedia, general species account; Reptile Database). This conservative treatment keeps unresolved parts of its natural history clearly visible to readers.
