Under 5% of wildlife watchers report an Antillean House Gecko sighting in Medellín on a given day, based on 5 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 15th most-seen of the 15 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 10%, and over a week to about 30%, if each day is a fresh chance.
March, June and September–October

Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Antillean House Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 6 in 10 of them come between 6 pm and 6 am: it is most active around dawn and dusk.
Only Medellín, in our data
Medellín is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Antillean House Gecko sightings: under 5% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same genus: Hemidactylus
The closest relatives of the Antillean House Gecko that you can see in Medellín (genus Hemidactylus, House Geckos) are Common House Gecko (about 10%) and Garnot's House Gecko (about 10%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Antillean House Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Medellín (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.
