Holodactylus is a genus of small geckos, collectively known as the clawed geckos.
Distribution

Both species in the genus live in northeastern Africa. The range of Holodactylus africanus stretches from the Maasai Steppe, on the border between Kenya and Tanzania to Ethiopia. The second species Holodactylus cornii has only been found in Ethiopia and Somalia.
Habitat

These terrestrial geckos mainly inhabit arid steppes and savannas. The females usually lay two soft-shelled eggs which are subsequently buried in moist substrate.
