Found 53 of these today on a warmish winters day and measured 32 adults. I am not 100% certain what species of Woodworthia they are but have collected a genetic sample. Maximum SVL was 75 mm (2 individuals). A further 10 geckos were between 70 and 74 mm SVL. Interestingly, a few of the geckos were under very thin plate like rocks (~1 cm thick) where they would not survive the frosts that we are getting almost every night lately (often down to -5 degrees in the morning). This indicates that some of the geckos are moving around and indirectly basking beneath rocks on a warmish day (high of 9 degrees!) in the dead of the maniatoto winter.
