In the right areas, these guys are downright common. I’m surprised I don’t see more posts about them. They’re like adorable tiny leopard geckos.

    In Yucatán we have a very similar related one, the Yucatán banded gecko (Coleonyx elegans)!

    They are also somewhat common, but you have to go out of the city and into the dry forest at night to find them, so most people who live in the city don’t get to see them.

      Adorable! Yeah, I saw like 8 or so of these guys that one night. Their mannerisms are amusing. These were in dry forest too though just outside the main part of town.
