Cnemaspis boulengerii, also known commonly as Boulenger's rock gecko or the Con Dao round eyed gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is endemic to Côn Sơn Island (also called Pulo Condore) in southern Vietnam.[2]
The specific name, boulengerii, is in honor of Belgian-born British herpetologist George Albert Boulenger.[3]
The preferred natural habitats of C. boulengerii are forest, rocky areas, and caves.[1]
Dorsally, C. boulengerii is tan, with a few large roundish black spots on the shoulders and nape.[2] Ventrally it is grayish white.[4] The maximum recorded snout-to-vent length (SVL) is 6.9 cm (2.7 in).[2] The tail is about 10% longer than SVL.[4]
