About Goniurosaurus hainanensis Barbour, 1908
Goniurosaurus hainanensis can grow to over 23 centimetres (9 inches) in length, with an average length around 22 centimetres (8.5 inches). They most often dwell on the sides of rock formations and forest floors. They typically have large red eyes, ranging in shade from maroon to crimson, and have movable eyelids, similar to the more widely known leopard gecko, which is also a member of the family Eublepharidae. Their base body color is usually gray, with black spots and yellow or orange bands across the dorsal area. Some individuals lose their distinct patterning with age, becoming nearly solid gray overall. The ventral area is nearly white and translucent. They have five clawed fingers that let them easily climb rocky terrain and rainforest cliffs. Like other Goniurosaurus geckos, this species lacks adhesive toepads.
