The low-lying gecko (Microgecko depressus) is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae.

The species is endemic to western Pakistan.

[2] M. depressus assumes a "serpentine"[3] position for a short period of time when alarmed or threatened.

This type of locomotive pattern resumes after a slow jerk, whilst advancing in this position each halt (or stoppage).
