Biofluorescence occurs in living organisms when they absorb short wavelengths of light and then re-emit longer wavelengths (Lamb & Davis, 2020). This phenomenon is known in many different species and has been observed recently in some frogs and salamanders (Taboada et al., 2017; Lamb & Davis, 2020) and reptiles such as sea turtles (Gruber & Sparks, 2015), chameleons (Pr?tzel et al., 2018), sea snakes (Seiko & Terai, 2019) and to date in six gecko species; Chondrodactylus bibronii (Sloggett, 2018), Cyrtodactylus baluensis (Jeng, 2019), Cyrtodactylus quadrivirgatus (Top et al., 2020), Hemidactylus parvimaculatus (Mendyk, 2021), Kolekanus plumicaudus (Pinto et al., 2021) and Pachydactylus rangei (Pr?tzel et al., 2021). The latter is an interesting case as the flourescence arises from iridophores. Here we report a study of biofluorescence in two further gecko species Hemidactylus turcicus (L., 1758) and Tarentola mauritanica (L., 1758).
