Heteronotia binoei, known commonly as Bynoe's gecko, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae, and is endemic to Australia. One of the continent's least-habitat-specific geckos, it occurs naturally across much of the country, and has also established in areas where it does not occur normally, such as urban Perth, Western Australia .
Eurydactylodes geckos are actively mobile yet slow moving [2] and able to live for over a decade. [5] These geckos are arboreal [3] and spend little time on the ground.
