Diet
Annulated gecko is an insectivore that predominantly feeds on small arthropods and crustaceans. Its diet also includes spiders, centipedes, and other invertebrates, which it actively hunts in its tropical habitat.
Appearance
Annulated gecko is a small gecko, slender with a smooth, scaly skin. Its primary coloration is a striking yellow with a distinct black ring around its tail and sometimes its neck. Annulated gecko possesses large, vertically slit eyes which are striking against its bright hue. This species demonstrates no significant dimorphism, meaning males and females bear similar appearances.
