Fischer's dwarf gecko (Lygodactylus fischeri) is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to West Africa and Central Africa.
The specific name, fischeri, is in honor of German herpetologist Johann Gustav Fischer.[2][3]
L. fischeri is found in Gabon, Equatorial Guinea, Cameroon, and southeast Nigeria,[1][2] with a single, isolated record from Benin.[1] The record from Sierra Leone is questionable.[1][2]
L. fischeri is a rare and highly cryptic species occurring in closed humid forest and gallery forest. It is probably an insectivore feeding on ants.[1]
Dorsally, L. fischeri is light olive green, with several longitudinal series of small black dots. Ventrally, it is uniformly white. The holotype has a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 3.5 cm (1.4 in).[4]
