Mediterranean House Gecko

HEMIDACTYLUS TURCICUS

Description:

I'm not squishing it, btw. Would never do that. I actually think they are rather cute. Just look at those little claws. They are considered invasive in Texas. Snout rounded, about as long as the distance between the eye and the ear-opening.

Habitat:

It would be easier to list where it doesn't exist. The "med gecko" is one of the most successful species of geckos in the world. Native to southern Europe, it has spread over much of the world and established stable populations far from its origins. Pick up a some brush, there they are; pick up a potted plant, there they are.
