The eye of a gecko is red so it's nocturnal. The eye - actually, to be more specific, the retinae, of a gecko is the reason why geckos are nocturnal. It's rather complicated to explain, but to make it short, the reason why geckos are nocturnal is due mostly the arrangement of cones and rods in the eye of a gecko. The cones and rods are description that is given to the shape of cells in the eye that help with sight, but they are also referred to as such.

Are crested geckos colorblind?
Crested geckos have both Rods and Cones in their eyes as humans do. Not all animals express these cones which allow the eyes to see in full spectrum. Not only do crested geckos have these rods but most nocturnal species of gecko exhibit these cones. In recent discovery, these nocturnal geckos express "super cones" which allow them to not only see in the dark, but again, taking in full spectrum, even during the night. See related links.
