Gekkonidae: Gecko Family
provided by EOL authors
Geckos are from the reptile family. There are 700 species of geckos. Habitats include warm tropical tempatures. Most are nocturnal and have very large eyes. Many have fiction pads of specialized scales under the toes that enable them to climb on vertical surfaces and walk upside down. Females lay only 1 to 3 eggs at a time but may breed several times a year. Geckos vary in size and color. Males are the most vocal of lizards and make loud repetitive calls.
