A worldwide community photographing and learning about wildlife
Project Noah Nature School
Hemidactylus turcicys
Bumpy, spotted skin, sticky toe pads, tiny claws. These geckos can lose their tail to escape predators. It takes about 3 weeks to regenerate. This one looks like it might be in the process of doing that.
Area near house, in yard with plants chosen to attract wildlife.
They often hang out near lights at night, and love to eat cockroaches and moths.
