Hemidactylus parvimaculatus
—
Sri Lankan Spotted House Gecko
Also known as:
Spotted House Gecko
This is one of the common house geckos in Sri Lanka, but I only saw a couple of them, perhaps because we didn't stay in a lot of houses. The ones I saw were in the dining area of a tented camp establishment near the one in which I was staying. They were both high up on a wall and skittish, so this bad picture is the best I could get.
