About this time, I am thinking that we should be encountering the Desert Banded Gecko C.v.variegatus that we had originally come out for. My family and I were about to leave the desert for the night and head back home for some rest, happy, but still disappointed we had not seen our target species. It was at this time that I noticed a vehicle following us. Now in case anyone is unaware, it is illegal to collect anything in most state parks. My family and I are aware of this and do not collect, but simply go and photograph those species that we are searching for.
