• Thank you for your lizard articles, these are much needed! Comments below:

• Article needs more wikilinks. For example, "species", "endemic", "dry forest", etc. Only link at first instance, but what is linked in the lead should be linked in the body again.
• island nation of Madagascar – I suggest to remove "nation", which is not of relevance here.
• Within its range, this species is found on rock outcrops – "Within its range" is redundant, I suggest to remove it.
• and is only found in the southwest of the country – its range seems to be much smaller than "southwest of the country". Can we be more specific?
• steeply-angled snout – "steep snout"?
• The ventral surface – "the underside"?
• The description section could state which features are diagnostic for the species, which would help with identification.
• Much info in the description seems to be general description that apply to other geckoes as well, and the selection of information seems a bit arbitrary (e.g., why are canthal ridges mentioned but not eye size)? But this is ok for a Good Article, and optional.
• Information on variation is missing. I think this is important (especially the expression of the light and dark bands, as mentioned by your main source).
• anteriorly – write "forwards" to avoid technical terms where they can be avoided.
• sympatric – again, you could write more simply "share the same habitat" or similar. --Jens Lallensack (talk) 02:06, 27 October 2023 (UTC)
