The Saba least gecko, also known as the Saba dwarf gecko, is a species of gecko endemic to the Lesser Antilles in the Caribbean. The Saba least gecko is a medium-sized least gecko, reaching a snout–vent length of 28 mm in females and 30 mm in males. The dorsum has a background color of light to dark brown. Some individuals are covered with patterns; in this case, they have dull orange heads, while unpatterned individuals are uniform brown. The throat is yellow-tinted white, yellow, or pale orange in color. The underside of the body is pale brown, light yellow, gray, or white. A unique color morph found on Sint Eustatius has an off-white head with a dark brown vermiculated pattern, alongside a dull yellow dorsum and white venter.
