The Mediterranean house gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) is a small lizard of the Gekkonidae family.

House geckos can see perfectly in the dark. But they are drawn to light, because they know this is where they will find food. They are amazing insect hunters. They can lie in wait for hours until they find the right moment to attack their prey, and they can also catch the insect mid-flight.

They have an amazing ability to adjust their color and patterns, depending on the environment they live in.

House geckos are one of the few species of lizard that have a voice!

At the Park, Mediterranean house geckos lie on the cement and feed on annoying mosquitoes.
