Hemidactylus mercatorius is a species of gecko.[2] There has been confusion between it and Hemidactylus mabouia, making it difficult to establish the ranges of the species.[1] While the Reptile Database gives Hemidactylus mercatorius a wide distribution in eastern Africa,[2] the IUCN restricts its native distribution to Madagascar and some other islands in the Indian Ocean (the Comoros, Seychelles, Mayotte).[1]
