Oldham's bow-fingered gecko (Cyrtodactylus oldhami) is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to Myanmar and Thailand. Both the specific name, oldhami, and the common name, Oldham's bow-fingered gecko, are in honor of English plant collector Richard Oldham (1837–1864).
Cyrtodactylus oldhami is found in southern Myanmar and southern Thailand. The preferred natural habitat of Cyrtodactylus oldhami is forest, at altitudes from sea level to 150 m (490 ft). Cyrtodactylus oldhami may attain a snout-to-vent length (SVL) of 6.5 cm (2.6 in), plus a tail 7.5 cm (3.0 in) long.

Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report an Oldham's Bow-fingered Gecko sighting in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, based on 19 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 18th most-seen of the 44 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 60%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.
May and October–November
In those months about 40% of wildlife watchers report an Oldham's Bow-fingered Gecko in Khao Sok National Park on a given day, against under 5% in April, June and September, the lowest months. Those are among Khao Sok National Park's wettest months, with about 230 mm of rain a month against 35 mm in February.
Between 2 and 5 pm
Across all the parks we cover, that three-hour window holds the most Oldham's Bow-fingered Gecko sightings with a recorded time, and about 8 in 10 of them come between 6 am and 6 pm: it is a daytime animal.
Only Khao Sok National Park, in our data
Khao Sok National Park is the only park on Wallace's Line with enough records to rate Oldham's Bow-fingered Gecko sightings: about 30% of wildlife watchers there report one on a given day.
Same family: Gekkonidae
The closest relatives of the Oldham's Bow-fingered Gecko that you can see in Khao Sok National Park (family Gekkonidae, Typical Geckos) are Flat-tailed House Gecko (about 50%), Tokay Gecko (about 40%) and Common House Gecko (about 30%), with each one's daily chance of a sighting.
GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Oldham's Bow-fingered Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Khao Sok National Park (19 verified sightings from 2019 to 2026), 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.
