Dunn's least gecko (Sphaerodactylus dunni) is a species of lizard in the family Sphaerodactylidae. The species is endemic to Honduras. The specific name, dunni, is in honor of American herpetologist Emmett Reid Dunn. S. dunni is found in northern Honduras.
The preferred natural habitat of S. dunni is forest, at altitudes of 60–700 m (200–2,300 ft). The holotype of S. dunni has a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 25 mm (0.98 in). The dorsal scales are keeled and imbricate (overlapping).
S. dunni is terrestrial and diurnal. S. dunni is oviparous. Harris DM, Kluge AG (1984). "The Sphaerodactylus (Sauria: Gekkonidae) of Middle America". Occasional Papers of the Museum of Zoology, University of Michigan (706): 1-59. (Sphaerodactylus dunni, p. 42).

No species of the same family or order lives in San Pedro Sula, so these are its closest relatives here: other reptiles.
Possible
About 20% of wildlife watchers report a Dunn's Least Gecko sighting in San Pedro Sula on a given day, based on 8 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data. It is the 11th most-seen of the 18 reptiles we can rate there. 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 50% of wildlife watchers report a Dunn's Least Gecko in San Pedro Sula on a given day, against under 5% in October to March, the lowest months.
Between 7 and 10 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Dunn's Least 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 San Pedro Sula, in our data
San Pedro Sula is the only city on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Dunn's Least Gecko sightings: about 20% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Dunn's Least Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in San Pedro Sula (8 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.
