Geckonia chazaliae is a species of Madagascar gecko, better known as Helmethead Gecko. It is in the monotypic genus Geckonia. The name derives from the shape of the head caused by some of the scales at the back of it. Its small size and tolerance of captive conditions, have made it a more popular terrarium subject.
