The Common House Gecko (Mini Documentary)

My first stab at a wildlife documentary, a closer look at the Common House Gecko. They are small lizards that like to live in urban environments on walls and near lamps, and provide free population control for the roaches, mosquitos, etc.

It is also known as Hemidactylus Frenatus, Asian House Gecko, Pacific House Gecko Wall Gecko, House Lizard, Tayoto, Chipkali, Moon Lizard.
