This species of gecko found in South Asia especially Sri Lanka,
Pakistan (Karachi eastward), India and Sri Lanka. Nocturnal in nature
and like all other geckos these too have the ability to drop their tails
only to re-grow the same eventually. Away from an urban setting, they
are probably having their home under large stones or in crevices and
burrows. They feed on a variety of insects which includes grasshoppers,
crickets, beetles and termites.
