I've been in love with these guys ever since I lived in New Orleans.
The Mediterranean House Gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) is an incredible species that can now be found worldwide. Originally native to the Mediterranean region, these nocturnal geckos can now be found around the world in tropical and subtropical regions. @Papa-pepper first encountered them in New Orleans, but I have also found them in Florida and Texas.
They are a relatively small lizard, not growing longer than six inches. As the name "House Gecko" would suggest, they commonly make their homes in our homes, and do well living on, in, and around human buildings. They seem to really enjoy the insects that our light bulbs attract at night too. I am working on an educational, informational post for my "The Wild-Man's Wild Friends" series, but for now I wanted to share some photos with you. I hope that you enjoy them, as I really enjoyed taking them. I used three different individual geckos that we caught last night in Texas for this shoot.
As always, I'm @papa-pepper and here's the proof:
