Cnemaspis psychedelica, also known as the psychedelic rock gecko, is an endangered species of gecko, only scientifically described in 2010, that is endemic to Hon Khoai Island and adjacent Hon Tuong Isle in Vietnam. It is up to about 7.5 cm (3 in) in snout–to–vent length, and it is quite brightly coloured in yellow, orange, black and grey-blue. In a 2021 biological study aiming to determine identifiability of the species, it was even found that the life-color pattern of a psychedelic rock gecko is unique and stable for each adult individual for at least 3 years. This diurnal gecko inhabits granite boulders in densely vegetated country, retreating into crevices or under the rocks if scared, locations also used for sleeping at night. Each female typically lays two white eggs that are attached 0.3–3.5 m (1–11.5 ft) above the ground to the underside of a rock ledge and several females may use the same place, forming a communal nest with up to ten eggs. Newly hatched young are quite dull, but the adult colours are already evident when two months old.
