Geckos - nocturnal lizards with large, unlidded eyes - are represented by two species. The yellow- bellied house gecko (Hemidactylus flaviviridis), the larger and rarer of the two, is distinguished by its yellowish belly and the uniform granular scales on its back. Brook’s gecko (Hemidactylus brookii) has a few larger tubercles with the granular scales, and a white underside. The yellow-bellied gecko is found only in houses but Brook’s gecko is also found in forests, hiding under logs or leaf litter in tree buttresses.

Denizens of the forests and predators of snakes, lizards, birds and small mammals, the short-legged monitors are the largest lizards. The yellow monitor (Varanus flavescens) is common in the Park and is often seen climbing trees. It is yellowish-brown in color. The much larger but rare Indian monitor (Varanus bengalensis) has an olive-brown skin and hunts for its prey in grasslands and on the forest floor. Both have extremely sharp teeth which can inflict nasty wounds.
