They differ from the intromittent organs of most other amniotes such as mammals, archosaurs and turtles that have a single genital tubercle, as squamates have the paired genitalia remaining separate.

The big-scaled dwarf gecko is extremely small in size, measuring only 0.285g as its mean mass. [3] The lizard also maintains a snout vent length, which fluctuates from 1.7-2.7 cm with an average hitting around 2.4 cm. [9] The largest of the big-scaled dwarf geckos are found in Puerto Rico, and those found in the Virgin Islands are smaller. [10]
