This house gecko is probably one of the most anthropophilous species in the country, where it has a wide distribution throughout the northern region. The species is abundant in homes but does not hesitate to shelter also in rocks and trees in remote areas. It is found from sea level to above 2,000 m at Tabenken and Nkambe.
