According to my Stebbins Field Guide, the banded gecko is chiefly a rock dweller, ranging from creosote bush flats to pinon-juniper belt, and from catclaw to chaparral areas. Some range in areas that are barren dunes. They feed on insects and spiders. Usually they are nocturnal, and are therefore limited in distribution by low night temperatures. Banded Geckos differ from most geckos in having movable eyelids and slender toes.Tuscon banded decko, C.v.bogerti has 8 or more preanal pores in males, dark body bars equal to or narrower than interspaces. Bars with light centers or replaced by spotting, light collar mark indistict. Sounds like they need hot dry habitat. It says that although they appear delicate this lizard is able to live in extremely dry parts of the desert because of it's nocturnal and subterranean habits. Hope this helps some.
