Geckos are small to average-sized lizards which are found in warm climates all over the world. They are unique among lizards because of the way they sound. They make chirping sounds to communicate with other geckos. The name gecko comes from the Indonesian word gekok which imitates the sound of their chirps. Many species of gecko have special toe pads which enable them to climb smooth surfaces easily, even indoor ceilings. In some parts of the world, geckos are commonly allowed to live indoors because they eat insects and other pests. There are 1,196 different species of geckos! Here are just a few: Leopard gecko: Leopard geckos are commonly kept as pets. Unlike most geckos, they have claws rather than tow pads and cannot climb the grass of their terrariums. Ptychozoon: Native to southeast Asia, these tree-dwellers are known as Flying or Parachute geckos. They have wing-like flaps from their neck to upper legs which help them provide lift when jumping. Crocodile gecko: Known as crocodile geckos because of their spiky skin, these geckos are heavy and large (up to 6 inches long). They are found in Mediterranean regions. Top right, This Gold-Dust Day gecko is just one of the 1,196 species of gecko.
