Goniurosaurus hainanensis is a nocturnal species of gecko endemic to the Hainan Island of China.[2] Its common names are the Chinese cave gecko, Hainan Cave Gecko or simply cave gecko. The exotic pet trade has been driving numbers of this rare species down since its categorization in the early 2000s, and could eventually lead to its extinction.[3] In recent years, the population has stabilized.[1]
