Thailand's Big House Gecko (Tokay)

Thailand's big geckos or Tokay are rare compared to the small house geckos but still can be seen inside and outside buildings. During day they hide in cool places such as under the roof line of the Thai Houses. Tokays have bumpy thick skin that is bluish gray in color with orange spots or they can have white stripes on the body. A fully-grown Tokay can be as big as 40 cm long.  They are often heard more than seen, having a loud guttural mating call.
