No species of the same family or order lives in Mombasa, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Likely
About 40% of wildlife watchers report a White-headed Dwarf Gecko sighting in Mombasa on a given day, based on 6 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. Over three days the chance rises to about 80%, and over a week to over 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
April
In that month about 60% of wildlife watchers report a White-headed Dwarf Gecko in Mombasa on a given day, against about 10% in June, October and December–March, the lowest months. That is one of Mombasa's wettest months, with about 130 mm of rain against 15 mm in February. August has too few records to rate.
Between 7 and 10 am
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most White-headed Dwarf Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 9 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Mombasa, in our data
Mombasa is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate White-headed Dwarf Gecko sightings: about 40% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the White-headed Dwarf Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Mombasa (6 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.
