Occurrence Remarks: Keeled Rock Gecko (Cyrtopodion scabrum) for insects at dusk by on the outdoor lights on wall at Furnace Creek Ranch in Death Valley National Park in the Mojave Desert. This one appears to have thin toes without the sticky toe pads. Last photo shows habitat at the ranch. Keeled Rock Gecko (Cyrtopodion scabrum) is an arid desert-adapted lizard in the Typical Geckos (Gekkonidae) family. It is crepuscular being most active at dawn and dusk. Mediterranean Geckos are more strictly nocturnal, while Keeled Rock Geckos are flexible, often crepuscular but capable of nocturnal activity, especially when artificial lights attract prey. The Keeled Rock Gecko differs from the Mediterranean Gecko in both structure and ecology, reflecting distinct evolutionary adaptations. The Keeled Rock Gecko is a more robust, ground-dwelling reptile with strongly keeled dorsal scales that give its body a rough, textured appearance, aiding camouflage among rocky outcrops. Its coloration tends to be muted and cryptic, blending into stone surfaces, and its behavior is largely terrestrial, relying on speed and concealment rather than climbing. In contrast, the Mediterranean gecko is smaller and more delicate, with smoother skin and translucent qualities, adapted for vertical surfaces through adhesive toe pads that allow it to cling to walls and ceilings. It is highly nocturnal, often active around artificial lights where insects gather, and its distribution has expanded widely through association with human habitation. While the keeled Rock gecko remains tied to natural rocky habitats and shows a more secretive lifestyle, the Mediterranean gecko thrives in urban and suburban environments, demonstrating greater ecological plasticity and tolerance of disturbance. The Mediterranean gecko is strongly nocturnal, while the keeled Rock gecko is more crepuscular to nocturnal, meaning it often emerges at dusk and dawn but can also be active at night. The keeled Rock gecko show screpuscular tendenciesΓÇöemerging at dusk to hunt insects when temperatures drop and light levels are low. Observations of individuals near artificial lights at dusk fit this pattern: artificial illumination can extend feeding opportunities into the early night, drawing even species that are not strictly nocturnal.
