It has been my experience that night driving in the Spring is the surest way to find them. They can be found in summer and fall but it is a matter of luck and just involves the occasional single animal. If you find suitable habitat and start flipping ground cover you might fine one. I have heard of them being found on rare occasions during the winter. I guess a few might emerge once in a while on warmer winter days similar to the activity of Side-Blotched and other Lizards.

I currently have two of these geckos myself. I have a female I have had for 3 or 4 years and I caught a young one about a month ago on the apparatus floor of my fire station. They can be very aggressive and cannibalistic to smaller lizards.
