Hemidactylus frenatus
Small geckos that cling to walls and ceilings hunting insects — harmless to humans but unwanted indoors due to droppings and visibility.
10–15 cm (4–6 in)
Brown or gray with speckled patterns, slim elongated body, flexible tail, four clawed legs for climbing, large round eyes.
Ants, flies, moths, beetles, and other small invertebrates. Hunt mainly at night.
Active mostly after dusk. Can shed and regenerate their tails when threatened. Cling to walls and ceilings via specialized toe pads.
Warm sheltered indoor corners — near walls, ceilings, light fixtures (where insects gather), and storage zones.
Harmless and rarely bite. Droppings can be a hygiene concern in food preparation areas.
