What is costa rica geckos?

Costa Rica is home to a variety of gecko species, including the common house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus), the mourning gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris), and the gold-dust day gecko (Phelsuma laticauda).

These geckos are known for their ability to climb walls and ceilings thanks to their adhesive toe pads. They are also nocturnal, meaning they are most active at night, and feed on insects such as crickets and moths.

While many geckos are small and relatively harmless to humans, some species are capable of delivering a painful bite if provoked. It is important to leave geckos in their natural habitat and avoid handling them to prevent injury to both the gecko and the person handling them.

Geckos are a beloved part of Costa Rica's rich biodiversity and can often be spotted in homes, gardens, and natural habitats throughout the country.
