Coleonyx — From Greek koleos (κολεός), “sheath,” and onyx (ὄνυξ), “claw.” The name means “sheathed claw,” likely referring to the gecko’s retractile or sheathed claw structure.
reticulatus — From Latin reticulum, “net,” and -atus, “provided with.” Means “net-like” or “reticulated,” referring to the lacy or webbed pattern on the skin.
