A multivariate model of DXA calculated fat percentage (DXAFat %), calculated fat percentage (Cal. Fat %) and actual measured live wet mass (Real Mass (g)) for male (N = 10), female (N = 16) and unsexed (N = 4) Israeli fan-toed geckos. N = 30, R2adj. = 0.836, P < 0.001, y = − 30.412 ± 3.669 + 1.523 ± 0.157(xFat%) + 1.289 ± 0.151(xMass). When removing the outlier male (N = 29), the model improves to R2adj. = 0.862, P < 0.001, y = − 36.341 ± 3.644 + 1.404 ± 0.134(xFat%) + 1.903 ± 0.179(xMass)
