Spotted Ground Gecko (Kuroiwa's subspecies)
Goniurosaurus kuroiwae orientalis
Goniurosaurus kuroiwae orientalis is a subspecies of Kuroiwa's Ground Gecko with paler markings on its body. It occurs on a few islands of the Ryukyus and forages on the forest floor at night for insects. Island populations show their own traits, and because its range is small it is covered under the Kuroiwa's Ground Gecko Natural Monument.
