There are lots of fauna and flora that have Cape in the name but are found all over South Africa and I have a lot of those little geckos at my place. They are also hunted by Rain spiders and my cats make sure that the sparrows keep their distance but hunt the geckos for fun instead.
The little dwarf geckos are oddities in that they are diurnal instead of nocturnal and they also don't hibernate in winter.
