Common House Gecko [Skeleton]

Hemidactylus frenatus

Description:

They are typically known as house geckos, due to their readiness to adapt to and coexist with humans.

Habitat:

This species is found worldwide in tropical and subtropical regions. It is native to southern and southeast Asia and the Indo-Australian Archipelago.

Notes:

I found this skeleton while cleaning my room. The geckos can change the tone of your skin to adapt better to the ambient.

Was this formerly your pet Leonardo? Crested geckos are not native to Brazil so if it was, please move to the pets mission.
