Gehyra
''Gehyra'' is a genus of geckos in the family ''Gekkonidae''. They are known as web-toed geckos or dtellas, and most species within the genus bear close resemblance to geckos from the genus ''Hemidactylus''. Geographic range ''Gehyra'' species have a wide geographic range, covering most of the Oceania and Melanesian Islands as far north as the Ryukyu Islands and Thailand. Description Dtellas are moderately sized geckos that resemble house geckos. ''Gehyra'' species have toepads and powerful claws. Like some other geckos they also have a tendency to drop strips of skin if handled carelessly. Similar to house geckos, dtellas are able to communicate with clicks or chirps, although their chirp is often quieter than that of house geckos.

Gehyra Australis
''Gehyra australis'', the Australian house gecko, northern dtella or top-end dtella, is a species of gecko native to northern and eastern Australia. It is also widespread in Indonesia, alongside common house geckos and Gehyra mutilata, four-clawed geckos. ''Gehyra australis'' is primarily an Arboreal locomotion, arboreal gecko inhabiting woodlands and coastal and riverine forests. It can also occur near human dwellings and gardens. It is oviparous. Systematics In 2020, as a result of molecular genetic analysis, three new species were proposed for lineages of the ''Gehyra australis'' species complex: ''Gehyra arnhemica, G. arnhemica'' (east Arnhem Land), ''Gehyra gemina, G. gemina'' (northern deserts), and ''Gehyra lauta, G. lauta'' (gulf, NT–Qld border). Names for the new species were registered in Zoobank.Publication Iurn:lsid:zoobank.org:pub:9EA86EF0-DB81-40ED-9DB9-58DBEF9B59D6/ref> Under this definition, the range of ''G. australis sensu stricto'' is limited to the west ...

Gehyra Mutilata
''Gehyra mutilata'', also known commonly as the common four-clawed gecko, Pacific gecko, stump-toed gecko, sugar gecko in Indonesia, tender-skinned house gecko, and ''butiki'' in Filipino, is a species of lizard in the family Gekkonidae. The species is native to Southeast Asia. It has made its way to several areas of the world including Sri Lanka, Indochina, and many of the Pacific Islands. Compared to the common house gecko (''Hemidactylus frenatus''), the appearance of ''G. mutilata'' is somewhat plump, with delicate skin. The skin is usually colored a soft purplish/pinkish gray, with golden spots on younger specimens; these spots eventually fade with age. Description The head of ''G. mutilata'' is longer than broad. The snout is longer than the distance between the eye and the ear-opening, about 1.3 times the diameter of the orbit. The forehead has a median groove. The ear-opening is moderately large and suboval. The body and limbs are moderately elongate and depressed. A ... [...More Info...] [...Related Items...] OR: [Wikipedia] [Google] [Baidu] |

Gekkonidae
Gekkonidae (the common geckos) is the largest family of geckos, containing over 950 described species in 64 genera. Members of the Gekkonidae comprise many of the most widespread gecko species, including house geckos ('' Hemidactylus''), tokay geckos (''Gekko''), day geckos ('' Phelsuma''), mourning geckos ('' Lepidodactylus'') and dtellas ('' Gehyra''). Gekkonid geckos occur globally and are particularly species-rich in tropical areas. Hemidactylus geckos are one of the most species-rich and widely distributed of all reptile genera.

House Gecko
__NOTOC__ ''Hemidactylus'' is a genus of the common gecko family, Gekkonidae. It has 189 described species, newfound ones being described every few years. These geckos are found in all the tropical regions of the world, extending into the subtropical parts of Africa and Europe. They excel in colonizing oceanic islands by rafting on flotsam, and are for example found across most of Polynesia. In some archipelagoes, cryptic species complexes are found.Lizards of the World (2004): Hemidactylus'. Version of 2004-FEB-08. Retrieved 2009-APR-04. Geckos like to live in and out of houses. They have been introduced to Australia. The species are typically known as house geckos, due to their readiness to adapt to and coexist with humans, and can be easily encountered in human habitations. This genus was originally established by Lorenz Oken in 1817 for the species at that time known as ''Hemidactylus tuberculosus'', and now described as the tropical house gecko (''Hemidactylus mabouia'') ...

Gecko
Geckos are small, mostly carnivorous lizards that have a wide distribution, found on every continent except Antarctica. Belonging to the infraorder Gekkota, geckos are found in warm climates throughout the world. They range from . Geckos are unique among lizards for their vocalisations, which differ from species to species. Most geckos in the family Gekkonidae use chirping or clicking sounds in their social interactions. Tokay geckos (''Gekko gecko'') are known for their loud mating calls, and some other species are capable of making hissing noises when alarmed or threatened. They are the most species-rich group of lizards, with about 1,500 different species worldwide. All geckos, except species in the family Eublepharidae lack eyelids; instead, the outer surface of the eyeball has a transparent membrane, the cornea. They have a fixed lens within each iris that enlarges in darkness to let in more light. Since they cannot blink, species without eyelids generally ...
