Geckos are small to medium sized lizards found in warm climates across the globe, with species inhabiting every continent except Antarctica. This incredibly diverse group represents the most species-rich family of lizards, with approximately 1,500 different species worldwide ranging from just over half an inch to over two feet in length.

What truly sets geckos apart from other lizards is their unique toe structures, regenerative skin properties, and their strange ability to vocalize,.  This vocal nature adds an interactive element that many keepers find fascinating and enjoyable.

Their manageable sizes, diverse care requirements, and wide variety of colors and patterns make them excellent choices for both beginning keepers and experienced collectors. Whether you're looking for a small, easy to care for species or a larger, more interactive animal, the incredible diversity within the gecko family means there's an option perfectly suited to your experience level and collection goals.
