[1] It can have faint to prominent white spots or short lines adjoining on the posterior margins of dark markings.

[1] The G. versicolor and G. variegate are extremely difficult to extinguish based on external morphology as they share the characteristics.

[1] Historically, the genus Gehyra has been difficult to delimit due to their continent-wide distribution, similar morphological characteristics and high genetic diversity among the group.

[3] In the 1970s and the 1980s, chromosomal studies found that there was substantial heterogeneity and independent patterns of karyotypic diversity within some of the species of Gehyra [1].

The most recent ancestor of the genus Gehyr migrated from Asia to Australia during the late-Eocene to mid- Miocene (13-33 million years ago).

[4][5] It was highly adapted to tropical environments and the division of the genus occurred when they migrated to the arid Kimberly region.

[2] Eggs are dispersed away from parent habitat and are usually laid under protective logs, bark or rock formations.

[8] G. versicolor, like all species of the genus Gehyra, can detach their tail as defensive mechanism and regrow it back.

G. Versicolor will continuously lick sap and are more commonly found on vegetation with significant gum bleeds such as the A. Victoriae [5].

[8] The geckos, Oedura ocellata Boulenger and the Heteronotia binoei (Gray) compete for the same macrohabitat but have different microhabitat and food resources.

[8] They are predated by red foxes and feral cats (invasive), marsupial mice, kookaburras, ravens, butcher-birds and larger lizards and skinks (native).

[6] It was found that G. versicolor completely avoid agricultural landscapes and edge habitat due to the high rates of predation.
