Help Save The Sispara Day Gecko

The Issue

The Sispara day gecko (Cnemaspis sisparensis) is a species of gecko found in the Nilgiri Hills of India. Description. It is closely allied to Cnemaspis wynadensis, but the digits much more elongate. Three femoral pores are found on each side. The dorsal tubercles are homogeneous.

Sispara Day Gecko is an inhabitant of the Western Ghats and the Nilgiri mountain range. It breeds in parts of Karnataka and Kerala but some wildlife spotters have also seen it as far as Goa. Deforestation of the forests in the Western Ghats and Nilgiri range has rendered Sispara Day Gecko as a critically endangered species of India.

They grow to a length of between 7.5–15 cm (3–6 in), and live for about 5 years. These small geckos are non-venomous and not harmful to humans. Most medium-sized to large geckos are docile, but may bite if distressed, which can pierce skin.
