The East Canary Gecko (Tarentola angustimentalis) is endemic to the Canary Islands, and is commoner near human habitations. It can grow to about 8 cm from the tip of its snout to its vent and has a tail of a similar length. The body colour is quite variable, being generally greyish-brown with a paler, sometimes intermittent, stripe along the spine and darker transverse bars. The East Canary Gecko is found on the Canary Islands of Fuertaventura, Lanzarote, Lobos and several small islands north of Lanzarote. It is very common in a range of habitats up to an altitude of about 800 metres (2, 600 ft). These include cliffs, screes, gullies, salt flats with scrubby vegetation, dunes, cultivated land and even inside houses.
