Diplodactylus vittatus, known as the wood gecko or eastern stone gecko is a small gecko found in New South Wales and Queensland. It usually eats insects around dusk, and shelters under cover during the day. When threatened, this species opens its mouth and stands up on all four legs. [1] The eastern stone gecko reproduces during spring and summer (September to March). They have a maximum clutch size of two eggs but can have multiple clutches throughout the breeding season. [2]
