HI all,
|This species was considered to be an arboreal species by certain Indian scientists, but after a detailed survey in Mumbai , I along with conus and some other friends, we got to observe more than 22 individuals in their natural habitat. All the individuals were found largely active after dusk and only 3 individuals were found late in the night. Most of the individuals observed were females and most of them were gravid. As observed this species mostly feed on termites , crickets, grasshoppperss. Their major predators appears to be scorpions of the genus Heterometrus and spiders of tthe genus Chelobrachyus. Regular surveys are being conducted daily to gather more data on the biology of this beautiful gekkonid. Will keep updating our fidings.
Cheers
