Can you see the geckos crawling over this page?



Well, here's a bit about them...

There are lots of different kinds of geckos, (about 400 species). People who keep geckos as pets usually have a Tokay Gecko.

Geckos live in a variety of different warm habitats. Many of them live in dry, rocky, desert-like places, but others live in rainforests, grasslands, and marshes.

Most of the time they eat insects, but if they can get them they'll also eat very small mammals, baby birds and eggs. They get eaten themselves from time to time - mostly by snakes.

If a gecko gets its tail pulled off, it can grow another one!
