The Fan-footed gecko (ptyodactylus hasselquistii) is a species of gecko found in arid and rocky environments across North Africa and the Middle East. This small to medium-sized lizard is notable for its distinct fan-like toe pads, which provide excellent grip on vertical and smooth surfaces, aiding in its climbing abilities. The gecko is primarily nocturnal, emerging at night to hunt insects and other small invertebrates. Its coloration, typically a mix of sandy and gray hues, offers effective camouflage against rocky terrain, helping it evade predators.
