The family Gekkonidae, commonly known as geckos, includes a diverse group of lizards found in warm climates around the world. They are characterized by their unique vocalizations, adhesive toe pads, and ability to climb smooth surfaces. Geckos vary in size, color, and habitat, with some species being nocturnal and others diurnal.
Geckos primarily feed on insects and other small invertebrates, playing a vital role in controlling pest populations. They are also known for their remarkable ability to regenerate their tails after losing them, a defense mechanism against predators. This family includes well-known species like the Leopard Gecko and the Tokay Gecko.
