Vincent's least gecko

S. vincenti is found on the Windward Islands except for the southernmost island in the chain — Grenada, namely, on the islands of Dominica, Martinique, Saint Lucia, and Saint Vincent.{{EMBL species|genus=Sphaerodactylus|species=vincenti}}. www.reptile-database.org.

The preferred habitats of S. vincenti are forest and shrubland. Population density is greatest in moist, shaded leaf-litter. These microhabitats provide shelter, access to prey, and protection against desiccation.{{cite journal|last1=Steinberg|first1=David S.|last2=Powell|first2=Sylvia D.|last3=Powell|first3=Robert|last4=Parmerlee|first4=John S.|last5=Henderson|first5=Robert W.|title=Population Densities, Water-loss Rates, and Diets of Sphaerodactylus vincenti on St. Vincent, West Indies|journal=Journal of Herpetology|date=2007|volume=41|issue=2|pages=330–336}}

S. vincenti is oviparous.

The specific name, vincenti, refers to the island of Saint Vincent.Beolens, Bo; Watkins, Michael; Grayson, Michael (2011). The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. {{ISBN|978-1-4214-0135-5}}. (Sphaerodactylus vincenti, p. 275).
