Which three specific islands are the only confirmed locations for the Virgin Islands dwarf gecko?
Answer
Virgin Gorda, Tortola, and Moskito Island
The range of the Sphaerodactylus parthenopion is extremely restricted and is confined solely to three islands within the British Virgin Islands archipelago. These are Virgin Gorda, where it was first discovered, Tortola, and Moskito Island. Reports claiming its presence in the United States Virgin Islands (USVI) or other islands are generally considered unverified or potentially referencing other related gecko species.
