Hemidactylus eniangii is a species of forest gecko found in Nigeria (i.e., east of the Dahomey Gap[2]) and northern Cameroon.[1][3] It inhabits lowland tropical moist forest at elevations of 10–960 m (33–3,150 ft) above sea level and can be locally very common.[1]
Hemidactylus eniangii can grow to 60 mm (2.4 in) in snout–vent length and about 140 mm (5.5 in) in total length.[2]
