Hello there,

I got a couple of Banded Geckos which were told to be caught in Arizona near Phoenix.
Can anybody help me deciding which subspecies occures in that surrounding?
In western Arizona it is the Desert Banded Gecko (Coleonyx variegatus variegatus),
in the south-east of that state occures the Tucson Banded Gecko (Coleonyx variegatus bogerti)
- but where do they put Phoenix?

Thanks in advance, Peter

Those would be the Desert Banded Gecko (Coleonyx variegatus variegatus), the Tucson Banded (Coleonyx v. bogerti) range lies lower on the state in and around the Tucson area.
