Cnemaspis caudanivea, also known as the Hon Tre Island rock gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to southern Vietnam around Hon Tre Island, Kiên Giang Province and lives at a 100-meter elevation.[1]
In Latin, cauda is translated into "tail", while niveus is an adjective meaning "of snow or snow like". Therefore, C. caudaniveas specific epithet describes its snow-colored tail.
C. caudaniveas tail is brilliant white in colour.
