Cute geckos

How could lizards be cute? Most people don’t like all the reptiles, mostly because the reptiles for them are, first of all, the dreaded alligators and snakes. But the reptiles as a biological class are very diverse. There are millions of different species in this it and very few of them could pose any danger to humans.

Geckos are the family of the scaled reptiles, lizards. The different species have the different scales color, sometimes very vivid and out-of-this-worldly. Their size could range from the just a tad bigger than half an inch (1.6 centimeter, to be precise) to two feet long (60 centimeters).

Geckos make a great pets. You can keep them in terrarium, or even let them wander the home freely. While the latter is highly increases the risk of tripping over the snoozing lizard, or finding one in your bed, it will help to keep your house clean from the insects and even snakes. Geckos are carnivorous, their diet consists of insects primarily, but they won’t lose a chance to catch and feed on a small snake, even if it’s poisonous.
