Name

Why is it known as the Satanic Leaf Tailed Gecko? I don't see anything particularly demonic about it. Xavius, the Satyr Lord (talk) 10:29, 24 January 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Unfortunately the picture on there is a very bad one. It's called 'satanic' because when upset, surprised, or otherwise emotionally distressed, it turned almost jet black and has bright red eyes. Try googling the name, but even those results don't do it justice. 67.249.178.169 (talk) 22:30, 15 August 2010 (UTC)[reply]

Order

I wonder if anybody with more expertise than me could clarify what order this gecko is in? There seems to be a conflict between information on the ARKive website ARKive.org and the Wikipedia page that could do with clarifying. Cheers Wikisamia (talk) 20:55, 15 September 2011 (UTC)[reply]
