Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Cape Range Stone Gecko sighting in Cape Range on a given day, based on 10 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 21st most-seen of the 22 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 40%, and over a week to about 70%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Cape Range Stone Gecko in Cape Range on a given day, against under 5% in April, June–July, September and November–December, the lowest months. That is one of Cape Range's wettest months, with about 40 mm of rain against almost none in October.
Between 6 and 9 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Cape Range Stone Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 7 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Cape Range, in our data
Cape Range is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Cape Range Stone Gecko sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Diplodactylidae
The closest relatives of the Cape Range Stone Gecko that you can see in Cape Range (family Diplodactylidae, Australasian Geckos) are Northern Spiny-tailed Gecko (about 40%), Western Spiny-tailed Gecko (about 30%) and Cape Range Clawless Gecko (about 20%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Cape Range Stone Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Cape Range (10 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), calibrated against known sighting rates. Figures are rounded to the nearest 10% because citizen-science data supports honest approximations, not decimals, and months with records from fewer than five people show "—". How it works.
