saw a post about geckos and wanted to post this photo I took of tiny (then undescribed) day gecko species i found right outside my house but i can't seem to find it. here's a another I took while on a survey of the herpetofauna of that region 8 years back in 5 days from today.

i believe the common name and even the scientific name has changed but I know it as the Termite Hill Gecko (Hemidactylus triedrus) and it does get a lot more vividly coloured than this.

おはようございます

It's the season when #geckos crawl on window panes.
Unlike newts and lizards, geckos can walk on glass thanks to the microscopic hairs on their feet. These hairs generate van der Waals forces.

A gecko’s fingertips aren’t suction cups—they are nature’s own petan hand.

　
窓ガラスを #ヤモリ が這う季節です

イモリやトカゲと違い、ヤモリがガラス面を歩けるのは足の裏に微細な毛が生えているからで、その毛が分子との間に引力を作り「ファンデルワールス力」がはたらくのです
ヤモリの指先は天然のペタンハンドです

Oh, wie schön: Howe Gelb und M. Ward haben sich mit McKowski zusammengetan und unter dem Namen Geckøs die Single "Dance of the Gecko" veröffentlicht. Gibts z.B. auf Spotify. https://www.flexmusicblog.com/post/geck%C3%B8s-debut-with-hypnotic-folk-mirage-on-dance-of-the-gecko

In an unlikely turn of events, someone managed to combine 2 of my interests into one post: #warframe and #geckos .

Unfortunately it's on Reddit where I refuse to make an account so I'll just appreciate it over here.

My little green friend asks me to remind you that cats are known to eat #geckos, and he thinks that celebrating #Caturday is gross.

Dino the #CrestedGecko says hi. ❤️ He had a few tiny bits of stuck shed, but nothing major. A quick bath insta-solved the issue. ☺️ He is so lovely. And the bravest crested gecko on the planet. The way he interacts with people, it is immediately obvious that he comes from a good breeder. And look at this beautiful eye. 😍

Hello 👋🏾
Guess it's time for an #introduction.
I heard about this platform from @Thesageambrose and decided to give it a try. I'm needing to move away from Meta for....reasons.

I currently reside in the #pnw. My parents and in-laws live nearby, which is great because #ittakesavillage. I have 4 kids between the ages of 2 and 12. I have 3 #cats and 5 #geckos. I love watching #truecrime and listening to #murdermystery podcasts. I'm currently learning #mandarin, and entering my #teagirlyera.

Kiddo found a gecko in his bathroom. Poor thing was probably hiding from the heat. #geckos #heatwave #WesternAustralia

Anyone who follows me knows this feed is heavy on politics. Not today. I choose not to stare at the events in Washington marking the US's descent into darkness. Instead, because this week marks the 3rd anniversary of my move from California to #Hilo, on the #BigIsland of #Hawaii, all day I will be posting things I love about Hawaii. First up: The #geckos!
