). Despite significant survey effort across the island, it has not been observed or collected in open woodland habitats away from sandstone escarpment, nor observed on trees or woody debris in the vicinity of sandstone outcrops. When encountered, most geckoes were observed peering out from within crevices, potentially in ambush. Typically, shelter crevices were horizontal cracks in small boulders on bedrock. A number of geckoes were also observed foraging on open, vertical boulder faces on large, dissected sandstone pillars and outcrops. Foraging geckoes were not observed any higher than about two metres from the bedrock. Gecko species observed in sympatry include an undescribed
