Reticulate banded geckos can grow to 6.5 inches long, and are a pink or brown color with brown or black spots, sometimes with faint banding.

It is nocturnal and carnivorous, consuming almost any small species of arthropod.

They are capable of vocalizations, and sometimes will emit squeaking sounds if handled.

The reticulate banded gecko is listed as a threatened species in the state of Texas, as it only occurs in two counties, but its habitat is fairly remote and not easily accessible and is not under immediate threat.

Also, part of its habitat is found within the protected confines of Big Bend National Park.
