Description
Cyrtodactylus himachalensis is a medium sized gecko, with a snout-vent length of 4.2 to 5.7 cm (1.7 to 2.2 in).[1]
Sexual dimorphism
As in most species of Cyrtodactylus, sexual dimorphism is exhibited, mainly in how the males have 6 to 8 precloacal pores, arranged as 3 to 4 on each side, whereas in Females, this structure is completely absent. Females also tend to have larger bodies, along slightly larger head widths and heights, while males tend to have slightly more slender limbs.[1]
