Abstract

Asaccus andersoni is a recently described gecko from the west of Iranian Plateau, Ilam Province. Thisgecko is an endemic lizard species of Iran. Information on the ecology and behaviors of this species is very rare, and is closed to the first description of this species. We conducted our fieldwork at the type locality, in the Manesht Mountains, during several weeks from early spring to late summer of 2012. Here, we report the first data on some aspects of ecology, behaviors, and especially feeding habits of this leaf-toed gecko. Additionally, other important data on   this speciesare given in detail in the text.
