The Mediterranean House Gecko, scientifically known as Hemidactylus turcicus, is a small lizard commonly found in Mediterranean regions. It typically measures between 4 to 6 inches in length and has a slender body with a flattened head. Its skin is usually light brown or gray, adorned with darker spots, which helps it blend into its surroundings. This gecko is primarily nocturnal, meaning it is most active at night. It feeds on insects and other small invertebrates, making it beneficial for controlling pest populations. The Mediterranean House Gecko is often seen on walls and ceilings, especially in urban areas, where it seeks warmth and shelter.
