Ziegler Apart from the voucher material of our type series no further sightings of Gekko scientiadventura sp. n. were made, with the exception of a mass egg-laying site in a dark, manifold rock crevice system at the type locality. Fig. 10 shows this site (in about m height) at the be- ginning of the rainy season (end of August) in 2001. The four geckos cited under "Other material" originate from these eggs; they hatched in September/October 2001 which correlated with the beginning rains. One year later, in August 2003, we found two glued eggs just at this mass egg-laying site. In addition, two further communal egg-laying places were found in this cave system which seemed to be used also already since a longer period; they contained, however, much less eggs and were situated much higher (ca. 5 m high). On August 30, 2003, we measured at the lower egg- laying site, at h, a relative humidity of 85% and a temperature of °C. At h the same day the temperature was °C and the relative humidity had.
