A banded gecko refers to a group of geckos, mostly within the *Coleonyx* genus, known for their distinct banding patterns. 🦎 These geckos often have alternating bands of light and dark colors along their bodies. They are primarily nocturnal and ground-dwelling. Banded geckos are found in arid and semi-arid regions of North America. 🌵 Unlike many other geckos, they possess eyelids and lack adhesive toe pads. This makes them well-suited for terrestrial life. 🌎
