Field Notes

Description:

"The legs are long, and end in widely splayed toes, tipped on either side by a wide, fan-like fringe. The body colouration is pallid, helping to provide camouflage amongst the subtle tones of its rocky habitat. Markings can vary between the sexes and between the subspecies, with orange cross bands as well as reddish, black and pale spots all potentially exhibited. A relatively vocal species, male common fan-footed geckos can be heard calling with a series of chirrups at night over a distance of up to 50 metres" ~ARKive

Habitat:

spotted in a coastal desert wadi
