Cyrtodactylus adleri is a bent-toed gecko of the Nicobar Islands of India. It was earlier thought to be the same species as Cyrtodactylus rubidus but differs in having dark spots rather than dark bands on the back, in the scale patterns of the belly and below the nostril, and in having a groove in front of the vent (Wikipedia, general species account).
It is nocturnal and lives in trees in forest. It may reach a snout-to-vent length of 7 cm and lays eggs.
