No, but they can be found there, they were introduced to the island and have multiplied.
Here is a thread about it.

And this thread covers how to get one back home.

The gold dust day geckos are wonderful pets in Hawaii too! I've got two that I've raised since babies living in my kitchen. I feed them bananas & phoenix worms and they eat any other insects that come inside. Besides that your options are quite limited, oh yeah also tortoises are ok.

I have just caught them with my hands. I'm not sure which Island you're on, but some places, like Kona, are just crawling with them.

The Jackson's chameleon got here in 1972 in the pet trade. After the long journey from Tanzania the chameleons were extremely dehydrated and the pet shop owner released the 32 of them into his backyard to re-hydrate. Since then they have spread to the mountains of most of the Hawaiian Islands (via humans moving them around). We don't have any snakes in Hawaii besides the Brahminy Blind Snake which is more of a worm. There is a huge effort to keep snakes out of Hawaii or we could end up like Guam, overrun by the brown tree snake. And by big ass spiders all we have are the cane spiders, no tarantulas on the islands either.i own a make jackson

not to mention the Jackson chameleons feast on the native Hawaiian tree snails which are critically endangered...
