Diet
Sinai fan-fingered gecko primarily feeds on a diet of arthropods. Its dietary preferences include insects such as spiders and beetles, as well as small-sized arachnids, which it catches during nocturnal hunting sessions.
Appearance
Sinai fan-fingered gecko is a medium-sized gecko with a long, slender body and smooth skin. They showcase a beige to brown colouration, with blotchy, dark markings stretching along their back to the tail. Uniquely, they have vertical pupils, pointed tips on their notched tails, and large wings or fanned toes. No visual differences have been noted due to age, gender, or subspecies.
Behavior
Sinai fan-fingered gecko is typically a solitary and nocturnal creature, most active in the cooler twilight hours. Its foraging behavior includes climbing walls and ceilings to find food. Unique to this species is its territorial chirping, a distinctive defense mechanism accompanied by posturing and tail-raising. Its robustly-adapted toe pads demonstrate its remarkable climbing adaptation for survival in hazardous desert cliffs.
