A brand new baby gecko has entered the world! This one has hatched from an egg, which you may assume is the norm for geckos. While most gecko species do hatch from eggs, some do give birth to live young in rare cases.
3. Cartoon Gecko With Sticky Toes
You would possibly need to look twice if you spotted this gecko in the wild! Geckos are good at camouflaging, and so this gecko would probably blend right into this leaf surface.
4. Close-Up Of Gecko Toes
Geckos are so good at climbing, and the trick is in their feet! You may think they cover their feet with a gluey substance, but how they achieve this is by having many little hairs on the surface of their feet that help them cling to pretty much any surface.
5. Desert Gecko Walking On Hot Sand
I often assumed that geckos lived mostly in people’s houses, but that’s far from the truth. Lots of geckos live in desert environments, like this one here.

When coloring this gecko on a tree, I think it would be fun to see just how much you can make it blend into the colors of the tree.

Geckos live inside the homes of people across the globe. Unlike some uninvited animal guests, geckos are usually welcomed as they snack on pests like mosquitoes and spiders.

I’ve never seen anything so content to be sitting on some bamboo! Geckos may use bamboo to rest on, but you won’t find them eating bamboo, as they prefer insects.
12. Gecko Hiding Under A Leaf
When it starts to rain, humans can hide under an umbrella or go inside, but geckos don’t always have that luxury! They can use leaves to hide from the rain, though.
13. Gecko Hunting Insects Near A Light Source
Insects are attracted to lights, and crafty geckos can hang around lights in order to snag some insects attracted to the light. A Gecko's eyes are very sensitive to light, much more so than humans. This makes it easier for them to see in low-light conditions.

Geckos have many reasons to try and camouflage themselves. They could do so to sneak up on their food or to hide from other animals that would like to make a meal of the gecko.

21. Gecko Resting On A Mossy Surface
You and I might like to sit on a pillow or a fluffy blanket in order to be comfortable, but out in the wild, geckos have to rely on mossy surfaces to relax on.
22. Gecko Resting On A Warm Rock
Like many cold-blooded creatures, geckos need to rely on sunlight to help keep their blood and body warm, and this little guy is taking the opportunity to do just that. In cold weather, they also like to find warm, insulated spots in order to stay warm.
23. Gecko Sticking To The Ceiling
Do you ever have that feeling of being watched? Geckos are such good climbers that they can even stick to the surface of a ceiling and watch over us.
