Notes
Expected to see geckos on wall at night, but none were out at all. Instead, I started to flip rocks to see if they were there. This gecko was under the 3rd rock flipped, and another was under the adjacent rock. Four geckos were found under rocks in the immediate area and two more were found a block away. I do not know how far these geckos range into the city.
Gecko for this record is the lighter one in the picture.
