Common House Geckos

The other day at the pet store I was admiring the house geckos. They are small little lizards that have a propensity for hanging out on walls and ceilings of homes (not surprisingly, this is how they got their name!). As a side note, they have been a successful invasive species in many warm climates, mostly from hitchhiking on ships and other modes of transportation (though pet owners should never let these or any other pets go into the wild). Because of their small size and undemanding needs, they can make pretty good pets too - but unless you can find captive bred house geckos, you might want to think twice. Find out how to care for them in Common House Geckos.
