Ptyodactylus hasselquistii, commonly known as the fan-footed gecko, Hasselquist's fan-footed gecko, and the yellow fan-fingered gecko, is a species of gecko, a lizard in the family Phyllodactylidae. The species is native to northern Africa and western Asia.
The specific name, hasselquistii, is in honor of Swedish naturalist Fredrik Hasselquist. Ptyodactylus hasselquistii grows to a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 96 mm (3.8 in). Ptyodactylus hasselquistii is found in Algeria, Cameroon, Egypt, Eritrea, eastern Ethiopia, Iraq, Israel, Jordan, Lebanon, Saudi Arabia (including the Farasan Islands), northern Somalia, Sudan, and Syria.
The type locality is Cairo, Egypt. Ptyodactylus hasselquistii is oviparous. Clutch size is two eggs. Two subspecies are recognized as being valid, including the nominotypical subspecies. Ptyodactylus hasselquistii hasselquistii (Donndorff, 1798)

No species of the same family or order lives in Cairo, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Fan-fingered Gecko sighting in Cairo on a given day, based on 12 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 50%, and over a week to about 80%, if each day is a fresh chance.
September
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Yellow Fan-fingered Gecko in Cairo on a given day, against under 5% in January–March, May–June, August and October, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Yellow Fan-fingered Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
2nd of 2
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Yellow Fan-fingered Gecko sightings, Cairo ranks 2nd at about 20%. The best odds are in Luxor (Egypt, about 30%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Yellow Fan-fingered Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Cairo (12 verified sightings), 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.
