The House Gecko is a small lizard commonly found in tropical and subtropical regions. It typically measures between 4 to 10 inches in length and has a slender body with a long tail. These geckos are known for their ability to climb walls and ceilings due to their specialized toe pads, which allow them to grip smooth surfaces. House geckos are primarily nocturnal and feed on insects, making them beneficial for controlling pest populations. They are often seen in and around human dwellings, where they seek warmth and food. Their distinctive chirping calls can be heard at night, adding to their presence in urban environments.
