Distribution and habitat

This species is locally common in rainforest regions of Central Africa, from southern Cameroon through Gabon to the Republic of the Congo.[1][2][3]

Description

Hemidactylus coalescens can reach a snout–vent length of 78 millimetres (3.1 in) and a total length of 174 millimetres (6.9 in). These medium-sized species has a more elongated head and three enlarged internasal scales. Body shows a few dark crossbands with white spots and pale brown interspaces with white spots.
