What is chinese cave gecko?

The Chinese Cave Gecko (Goniurosaurus hainanensis) is a species of gecko that is endemic to China. These geckos are typically found in limestone caves and rocky habitats in subtropical regions. They are medium-sized geckos that can grow up to 6-8 inches in length.

Chinese cave geckos have a distinctive appearance with a mottled pattern of black, brown, and white markings on their skin. They have well-developed toes with adhesive pads that allow them to climb and cling to various surfaces. These geckos are mostly nocturnal, meaning they are active during the night and are typically more shy and elusive during the day.

In terms of diet, Chinese cave geckos are insectivores, feeding on a variety of insects, small invertebrates, and occasionally smaller lizards. They are considered to be relatively easy to care for in captivity, as they require a warm and humid environment with access to hiding spaces and a varied diet.

Chinese cave geckos are not currently considered to be endangered, but like many reptile species, they face threats such as habitat loss and illegal collection for the pet trade. Conservation efforts are important to ensure the survival of these unique geckos in the wild.
