Mediterranean Gecko
Hemidactylus turcicus
A small nocturnal gecko often found on walls, rocks, tree trunks, and buildings around warm Mediterranean-style habitats. It hunts moths, flies, spiders, and other small invertebrates, usually waiting near lights or crevices before making a sudden dash. Its sticky toe pads let it climb smooth vertical surfaces and even ceilings. This species is one of the more vocal geckos, producing soft chirps and squeaks during encounters.
