A small, delicately patterned gecko, the Beaked Gecko is less than 10 cm long and occurs in a variety of habitats in the low rainfall areas of mainland Australia. It hunts at night, feeding mainly on termites, and sheltering during the day in burrows to avoid the intense summer day-time heat. Distribution of the Beaked Gecko in Australia.
