Correlophus is a genus of geckos native to New Caledonia, known for their distinctive appearance and unique adaptations. These reptiles are characterized by their flattened bodies, large eyes, and prehensile tails, which help them navigate their arboreal habitats. They are primarily nocturnal and have a diet that consists mainly of insects and fruit. One of the most well-known species within this genus is the Correlophus ciliatus, commonly referred to as the crested gecko. This species has gained popularity in the pet trade due to its docile nature and vibrant color variations. Crested geckos are also notable for their ability to regenerate their tails if lost.
