Possible
About 30% of wildlife watchers report a Kendall's Rock Gecko sighting in Kubah National Park on a given day, based on 20 verified sightings from GBIF citizen-science data from 2019 to 2026. It is the 12th most-seen of the 29 reptiles we can rate there. Over three days the chance rises to about 70%, and over a week to about 90%, if each day is a fresh chance.

GBIF citizen-science records
It is estimated from how often the Kendall's Rock Gecko is recorded against all the reptiles logged in Kubah National Park (20 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.
