Titiwangsa Day Gecko
Small sized Lizard, found in montane forest.
This Titiwangsa Day/Rock Gecko - Cnemaspis flavolineata is endemic to the highland of Titiwangsa Mountain Range of Peninsular Malaysia.
The description mentioned they inhabits forests from 600-1,150 masl but I found this at around 1,700 masl in Cameron Highlands. What I have observed of late in Cameron Highlands, the temperature up there is not as cold as it used to be, say 20-30 years ago. I remember in the 80s when I first went there, we have to put on sweaters in the evening and it was super cold in the early mornings. The night temperature I hate during this trip was around 23-24C!
Picture of the complete Lizard can be seen here :
Cnemaspis flavolineata is a small probably-diurnal gecko that inhabits forests from 600-1,150 meters in elevation in the Banjaran Titiwangsa in central Peninsular Malaysia. This species has been found exclusively on vegetation, unlike other Malayan Cnemaspis species, which are typically found on rocky habitats.
