A Huge Prehistoric Looking Gecko! 🐴

This is the best picture I could get of a big gecko which was living at a friends place.

Large, agile and carrying what looks like an armored coat this type of Cambodian gecko is different from some of the ones found in other parts of Asia.

I have seen large geckos which are red and blue in Indonesia but this particular kind seemed gray and teal. It also looked more knobbly than other types I have known.

I am sure that this gecko is not fully grown. My intuition tells me that there is a bit of growth left yet.

Gecko's have an extraordinary ability to cling to surfaces upside down and on vertical planes. They rarely fall off but it does happen.

I used to live with a particularly clumsy gecko who would fall from the ceiling once a month with a big plop! Then he would lie dazed on the ground for a bit before recovering his senses and running off. 😉

Love Gecko's don't seem many in England 💯🐒

Lololol

That story about the gecko falling off the ceiling made me actually laugh out loud.

Must have been hilarious scene to observe ^^

Brilliant! He kept doing it periodically - maybe once a month! It was hilarious but the fall was probably 10 meters or so. It didn't seem to bother him, just stunned for a bit!

Hey @jockey I love gekos! I recently wrote a post about an EU ban on mercury based amalgam fillings, the UK and France have not joined the ban which raises some questions about who profits from the mercury... Fancy looking into it and reporting?

Pretty cool creatures tnx for sharing

Such a best picture @jockey
