Originally native to South and Southeast Asia, it has spread extensively around the world through human transport and is frequently found living in buildings and urban environments.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"1790\" data-start=\"1500\"\u003eThis species has a pale grey to light brown body with slightly translucent skin and subtle mottling that helps it blend into walls, bark and other surfaces. Like many geckos in the genus Hemidactylus, it possesses adhesive toe pads that allow it to climb smooth vertical surfaces with ease.\u003c\/p\u003e\r\n\u003cp data-end=\"2113\" data-start=\"1792\"\u003eIn the wild these geckos are most active at night, often gathering near lights where insects are abundant. Their diet consists primarily of small arthropods which they hunt along walls, trees and other structures. Their adaptability to a variety of habitats is a major factor in their success and widespread distribution.\u003c\/p\u003e","brand":"Viperia","offers":[{"title":"Unsex","offer_id":54783622447441,"sku":"house-gecko-unsex","price":12.49,"currency_code":"GBP","in_stock":false}],"thumbnail_url":"\/\/cdn.shopify.com\/s\/files\/1\/1077\/6952\/8657\/files\/Hemidactylus-frenatus_1_e472a8be-ea36-4711-b1dc-556c8a808997.jpg?v=1788426979","url":"https:\/\/viperiareptiles.co.uk\/products\/house-gecko","provider":"Viperia Reptiles","version":"1.0","type":"link"}
