Western banded geckos are terrestrial lizards, ranging in length from 12 - 15cm. The body is sandy coloured with dark bands broken into patches. The tiny scales give its skin a silky texture. Unlike typical geckos, it has prominent eyes with movable lids.

Behaviour

A secretive and nocturnal gecko, they forage at night for small insects and spiders. If captured, they squeak and may discard their tail. As a defence mechanism they may also curl their tail over their body to mimic a scorpion. Females lay 2 soft-shelled eggs at a time.
