house geckos
Ceiling-walking reptiles
House geckos are small lizards that live in and around human dwellings, particularly in warm climates.
They're welcomed or tolerated because they eat insects.
Several species share this name, most commonly the Mediterranean house gecko and the Asian house gecko.
Their soft chirping calls and ability to climb walls and ceilings make them distinctive household companions.
