Finding A Banded

[Tokayman]

If you live in southwestern utah, the banded gecko species that you have is the Utah Banded Gecko (Coleonyx variegatus utahensis). Banded geckos can be found under rocks and debris. I think that it is easier to find them at night, when they are active. Check on roads that go through habitat. Hope that helps! Also remember that the Utah Banded Gecko is a controlled species and you are only allowed 4 individuals at any given time.

[Coleonyx]

i cant tell you any particular sites, i don't know any! lol

 

[Tokayman]

las vegas, nv

 

[Tokayman]

really? i go there all the time........ what part of vegas?

 

[Coleonyx]

everywhere. They live in the deserts and especially like to hide under old carpet in the desert.

 

[Tokayman]

so their pretty common? do you think they'd be hard to find where im at?

 

[Coleonyx]

not sure, never went to utah, but i think so.

 

[Tokayman]

Ive had luck finding Coleonyx under wind blow debris, under different dumped objects that are moist underneath, walls and roads after sunset. Also ive found most of my neonate bandeds under half buried stones and debris.Great place to look in Utah is the Zion N.P or Cedar City area. I was there for a two day camping trip and saw a few. I dont think youll have a problem finding them in your area(st george).Hope this helps and I cant wait to see some of your finds. Good luck.
