[5] This gecko has a rounded snout rather than beaked (with the rostral connection to the nostril[6]), reddish brown in colour with a white or cream upper eyelid that is not able to cover, protect or clean the eye, rather the eye is covered in protective transparent scales.

With relatively large eyes, the pupil is a thin vertical slit during the day and rounded and full in the dark.

[11] Beaded geckos are found in drier arid to semi-arid climate parts of mainland Australia in all states and the Northern Territory.

[12] The beaded gecko is a terrestrial (ground-dwelling) animal that can be found in a variety of dry desert habitats within mainland Australia from the savannah woodlands to spinifex-covered sandhills.

[13] During the day the gecko uses insects and spider holes for shelter before coming out at night to hunt in open areas.
