The coastal day gecko (Cnemaspis littoralis) is a species of gecko found in the Western Ghats of India. This gecko occurs in Malabar, Nilambur, and Nellakota, on the west side of the Nilgiris; it is found on trees in dry teak forests. Jerdon's type specimen was obtained in a warehouse on the seacoast.

No species of the same family or order lives in Kozhikode, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Coastal Day Gecko sighting in Kozhikode on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 9th most-seen of the 9 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.
April
In that month about 40% of wildlife watchers report a Coastal Day Gecko in Kozhikode on a given day, against under 5% in May–June, August, October and December–March, the lowest months. That is one of Kozhikode's driest months, with about 85 mm of rain against 390 mm in June.
Yes
Of the 2 cities where we can rate Coastal Day Gecko sightings, Kozhikode has the highest daily chance: about 20%. Next come Kochi (India, about 10%).
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Coastal Day Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kozhikode (5 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.
