THE WILD-MAN'S WILD FRIENDS VIDEO SERIES - EPISODE 26 - MEDITERRANEAN HOUSE GECKO
Geckos! Crazy cool nocturnal little wall-climbers!
The Mediterranean house gecko (Hemidactylus turcicus) is a cool little gecko that can be found all around the world. Originating in the Mediterranean, they have now been naturalized worldwide in the warmer parts of the world.
Feeding almost exclusively on insects, these cute little reptiles remind us of tiny crocodiles. They are completely nocturnal, and, like many rodents, they like to make their homes where people live. Like many other kinds of lizards, they can detach their tails when they feel threatened, and regrow a new one. The new one will never be as long as the original, but it still grows back.
Their small bodies and wall-climbing abilities make it easy for them to not only hide, but also to hunt. These are one of my all time favorite creatures, and I am blessed to be back in Texas at the moment where I can find some of these once again. For more info on them, check out the video below and enjoy!
The information is the video is original but I did have a quick refresher from this source.

Man you'd have fun with all the critters we have in Florida.
I know, thinking about a trip actually.
Well if you decide to head towards the Disney area. We'd be happy to put you up for a day or two.
We live about 45 minutes away from mouseworld.
We also have Lego Land not even five minutes from our house.
I was secretly waiting for that little guy to jump on your face...BTW I know you have some funny bloopers from all these animals. You should do a @papa-pepper bloopers video. Just an idea. ;)
LOL - Good point. It could be fun! Most actually happen in one take, and most of the retakes are due to load children.
There is a 1/5 chance that a kid will disrupt while filming every time. Thats why converted one of them into a camera man. He doesn't always hold the camera still, but he is learning. Now there is only a 1/4 chance for interruption. (winking noise)
You always make us feel like we were there with you. Thanks @papa-pepper
That is so cool. I am glad to hear that you feel that way!
That's amazing how it stayed on your finger for 3 minutes without moving man! Normally they run so quickly!
Impressed!
@progressivechef
You like creepy animals, and the bunny ? well.. hanging out with that bunch makes it kind of creepy too... nice to meet You, Nic from Amsterdam here. PS what means "going from the gecko" Followed You @nicnicy
I love geckos! I didn't realize they were so widespread throughout the world. Surprising also that they have high resistance to pesticides, but encouraging that they do. We need more geckos, less pesticides!
As I recall from a visit to Hana Maui, they like to have loud 'conversations' with each other in the middle of the night!
This is fantastic and I love its ingenuity.
Thank you for sharing with us:)
