Phyllodactylus

Phyllodactylus is a genus of geckos distributed in South America and Central America, and as far north as the southern United States. They are commonly known as "leaf-toed geckos" in their native range, and otherwise as American leaf-toed geckos to distinguish them from unrelated genera with similar feet.

gollark: That sure is the letter X (capital).
gollark: > an additional rule change:> submissions should be your own original work. it is discouraged (though allowed) to take code from external sources such as the internet, and it is no longer allowed to submit original code written by any other member of the server after the round started.What if I just describe my code to someone in detail and have them rewrite it?
gollark: I see.
gollark: Why not just average % after subtracting 1?
gollark: But that means your guessing skill will appear higher on rounds with more people probably maybe.
