i agree with you martinl.. actually we commonly call gecko here as "toko" like the sound they make. and for the smaller one we call them "tiki"..

I believe the word 'gecko' originated as a copy of the sound that they make. Also the word "tokay" has the same origin, Like a "tok - tok" Can anyone local person confirm this theory???
