It has a tan coloring ranging between a light khaki to a dark brown.

The gecko has multiple dark spots on its body.

The gecko was found in the district of Nellore, Andhra Pradesh, by a group of Thackeray Foundation students.

[2] The gecko's name is derived from the Latin word for "a species that has survived from an earlier period with different environmental conditions".

This is because the creature's habitat is a cooler forest, that is surrounded by warm and open areas.
