The Ocellated Thick-toed Gecko (Pachydactylus geitje) is a tiny thick-toed gecko that is indigenous to the Western Cape of South Africa.

A very colourful, mottled little gecko, its smooth (almost silky) body is usually covered in dark-edged white spots. It typically lives on the ground among debris and under rocks. Further inland it only lives higher in the mountains where rocky outcrops provide it with sufficient places to hide. It lays a clutch of two tiny eggs in the summer. ^{[1] [2]}
