Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Marbled Bow-fingered Gecko sighting in Jakarta on a given day, based on 75 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 13th most-seen of the 47 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
February and November
In those months about 50% of wildlife watchers report a Marbled Bow-fingered Gecko in Jakarta on a given day, against under 5% in July, the lowest month. Those are among Jakarta's wettest months, with about 300 mm of rain a month against 55 mm in August.
Between 8 and 11 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Marbled Bow-fingered Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is mostly seen at night.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Marbled Bow-fingered Gecko sightings, Jakarta has the highest daily chance: about 30%. Next come Bandung (Indonesia, about 10%).
Same family: Gekkonidae
The closest relatives of the Marbled Bow-fingered Gecko that you can see in Jakarta (family Gekkonidae, Typical Geckos) are Tokay Gecko (about 50%), Flat-tailed House Gecko (about 50%) and Common House Gecko (about 40%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Marbled Bow-fingered Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Jakarta (75 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.
