Diet

Israeli fan-fingered gecko thrives primarily on a diet of insects such as spiders and beetles. Unpredictable and varied in nature, its predatory pattern includes deep-nocturnal feeding, capturing its prey with precision using its grippy toes and sharp teeth.

Behavior

Israeli fan-fingered gecko is a nocturnal creature, taking refuge in rock crevices during the day. Notably social, they congregate in large groups, characterized by complex social dynamics. Primarily insectivorous, this species employs a 'sit-and-wait' approach to hunting, relying on stealth and speed. It is also known for its distinct vocalizations, which contribute to territorial disputes.
