The Beaded Gecko grows about 10 cm long and lives in the drier, sandy areas of southern Australia. The skin colour on its back varies with the locality, but most are a pale reddish-brown, with a continuous, ragged cream midline band. The Beaded Gecko is an agile hunter, emerging from its burrow at night to forage for a wide variety of insects (moths and bush cockroaches) in sandy areas.
