 It is capable of existing in an ecologically analogous place with other Hemidactylus species.Despite being native throughout South East Asia, recent introductions, both deliberate and accidental have seen them recorded in the Deep South of the United States, large parts of tropical and sub-tropical Australia, and many other countries in South and Central America, Africa, South Asia, and the Middle East.Their capacity to withstand a wide range of latitudes is also partially facilitated by their capacity to enter a state of brumation during colder months.
