a 20 - gallon tall terrarium is sufficient for a couple of common house geckos but bigger is better when it comes to their housing . keep in mind that house geckos need vertical space for climbing so you should use a tall tank rather than a long tank .

always give your gecko de - chlorinated water , as distilled water can cause medical issues for your gecko due to its lack of nutrients and minerals . avoid giving your gecko untreated tap water , as it can be unhealthy for your gecko .
while it’s true they’re very gentle , they’re also very fragile and can break easy , kind of like a toy . unlike some other particular breed of gecko , the house gecko is also relatively quick so if it escapes out of your hands and starts running through the house , you’re going to have a fun afternoon on your hands running through the house trying to chase it down . however , unlike some pets which can be self - sufficient such as a cat that can go out on its own and hunt when you stop feeding it , the house gecko relies solely on you to feed it . the common life span of a house gecko tends to be around 5 years or a little less depending on how well they’re taken care of .
found this one very helpful , giving me a good understanding of how to care for , keep , and feed a house gecko .

you should dust your gecko’s food with a calcium supplement before giving it to him . a growing gecko should be dusted more often than an adult gecko . you can ask your veterinarian for exact instructions on how much supplement you should dust on your gecko’s food to avoid over - supplementing the food .
hahahah ! ! ! i was searching the web , trying to find info on common geckos – because there’s one in my house and i found it in my bed the other day… and then i found your post ! hahah i laughed so hard . kinda makes me feel like chasing him outa the house now hahah… funny as hell ! !
most growing house geckos do not enjoy being picked up and held . handling your gecko may also prevent him from getting used to his new environment . house geckos are fragile and if you pull on their tail , they may lose their tail or become injured .
when you think about the common house gecko , you probably think about that little lizard you see on the geico commercial all the time but what kind of breed that is , is debatable and they’ve dropped some clever hints but always cut him off before he has time to tell us . however , the house gecko is basically the most common household pet out there when it comes to owning a gecko and they’re relatively easy to maintain as well . people all over the world love owning these things as pets because not only are they small and tiny in nature but they’re relatively inexpensive as well , which some lizards just aren’t worth the trouble of owning and some breeds are worth more trouble than what they’ll end up costing you .

house geckos are largely insectivores , but adults will consume spiders and other invertebrates , and occasionally juvenile geckos as well . they are strongly territorial and can be quite vocal at night , making a series of crisp , rapid chirps . they may make a squeaking noise when captured . common house geckos are believed to have arrived in hawaii during or just after world war ii . since then it has become the most common lizard around house lights at night . females lay hard - shelled , non - adhesive eggs in pairs under bark , in tree holes , palm fronds or other protected above - ground sites .
for centuries , those first geckos comprising four different species , thrived on the islands . the mourning gecko , the stump - toed gecko , and the indo - pacific gecko were gregarious and lived close to humans , in urban areas . the tree gecko lived a solitary existence in forests and meandering valleys near streams .

before acquiring a pet house gecko , be sure to research its specific care requirements . talk to your veterinarian about the proper diet and how to maintain a healthy weight for your pet .
certain thais also believe that if a big house gecko falls and lands on your body , it would hold on . the only thing that could make the tokay let go is thunder .
once considered to be a benign invader limited to urban areas , recent studies have shown that , as in other parts of their colonised range , asian house geckos have displaced native geckos from the house gecko niche and have spread into , and become established in considerable densities in , bushland habitat .
use a 5–10 gallon ( 18 . 9–37 . 9 l ) tank for your gecko
you should gut load the insects , feeding them a nutritious diet about 24 hours before offering them to your gecko . then , give the gut loaded insects to your gecko . do not give your gecko wild caught insects , as they can carry diseases .

while common house geckos can live in less inhabited areas , they are commonly found around human habitation , including the walls and ceilings of houses , which is how they got their name . they are good at keeping insect populations in check so many people welcome their cohabitation on their homes .
common house geckos are nocturnal so they do not need special uvb lighting like many reptiles . however , many experts feel providing uv lighting is still beneficial to the overall health of nocturnal animals , therefore , it is still recommended to use a uva / uvb light bulb during the daytime .
on hawaii , this species has displaced native mourning geckos and stump - toed geckos throughout the islands . it is also known to feed on small mourning geckos and other species . the common house gecko has only been known from florida since 1993 , and is confined to a few small urban locations , so it is unlikely to have much impact on natural environments at this time .

the research , reported in the australian journal of zoology , found the asian house gecko ( hemidactylus frenatus ) poses no threat to australian flora and fauna , and prefers hanging around where people live .
common house geckos are widely distributed through southern asia , and are naturalized on islands and seaports throughout much of the world’s warmer oceans . in florida , they are known from a few warehouse areas near ft . myers , homestead , and key west and stock island on the lower florida keys . in florida , it seems confined to the walls of buildings . on hawaii , they are found on all the larger islands as well as lanai and kahoolawe . they are the most common gecko on all the major hawaiian islands , not just in urban areas but forested areas as well .

if you want more than one gecko , do not house more than one male per tank as they will fight each other , and make sure you have all females unless you want to breed them .
house geckos should be fed a variety of small prey items . crickets can make up the main part of their diet with the addition of fruit flies and other small flies , silkworms , the occasional mealworm , and other insects . gut load prey prior to feeding them to your geckos , dust them with a calcium supplement two to three times a week , and a dusting of a multivitamin once a week . feed your common house geckos in the evening since they are nocturnal . juveniles should be fed daily but adults can be fed every other day . feed as much prey as your house gecko will eagerly consume .
this is an arboreal lizard found in the moist tropics of asia . there are many different species of gecko that are grouped into the common name of
house gecko
, but fortunately the care remains the same . these geckos thrive under a wide range of conditions , but prefer semi tropical habitats with high humidity . due to their versatility , these geckos are often considered a parasitic species in places such as florida , california , and hawaii , where they have established invasive colonies .
since the asian house gecko arrived in brisbane in the early 1980s , the cold - blooded creatures have spread to nooks and crannies in houses throughout the city and along the coastline of queensland and northern nsw .

if you need to care for a young house gecko , feed it 5 to 6 meals a week . choose high - protein meals like crickets or mealworms , and make sure they are no longer that the width of the gecko’s head so it can eat them . for extra nutrition , dust the insects in a calcium supplement before giving them to the gecko . it is also important that you wait until the gecko is an adult before you handle it , or you risk injuring it .
house geckos need room to climb in their tall cage so you should provide branches , driftwood , and silk or live plants . they also need hiding spots such as reptile caves or small clay plant pots placed on their sides . be sure to provide enough hides to give multiple geckos space to hide from each other if you are housing more than one gecko in a cage . provide a small shallow water dish with fresh water daily even though common house geckos may prefer to drink from water droplets on leaves like chameleons .
one should take care to reduce the number of insects in the house so that survival outside the homes become easier .

when you’re purchasing housing or looking at different enclosures , you’re going to want to make sure you pick the most appropriate and right sized enclosure for the particular combination that you’re setting up . for instance , if you only have one single gecko or you’re housing a pair of them , then you might want to look into a tank that can accommodate 20 gallons . this will not only be able to one house gecko adequately but a house gecko and a mate if you’d like ( but be warned , if you do this , you will more than likely have a lot of baby gecko running around not too far down the road ) .

we have over 11 , 000 gecko records and only 13 of those were asian house geckos , all from the one spot , so it seems to me that there ' s not a significant invading threat in australia .
a baby gecko , or young gecko , will need to be fed five to six times a week . your gecko should have a diet that is high in protein , consisting of crickets , mealworms , waxworms , silkworms , and roaches . the insects should be no longer than the width of your gecko’s head to ensure he can stomach them . if any uneaten insects survive , somehow , and are roaming around in the tank , remove them , as they can end up chewing on your gecko’s skin and eyes .
i was an exchange student in thailand and at school my class mates told me that you see ghosts when you stand under an umbrella if it’s not raining . is that a common superstition ? what does it mean ?
now as it pertains to food and what you can feed your house gecko pet , this is one of the easiest things about the house gecko because their eating habits are very simple . much like any other pet , they’re going to eat every single day and they eat very simple and cost effective foods . however , once they grow up and reach full adulthood , it’s not uncommon for them to skip a day so eating once every other day really isn’t that uncommon .

they commonly eat the most cliché items just like all the other reptiles out there but the most common items on the menu for a house gecko are crickets , mealworms and wax worms . ideally , what you feed them will be your own personal preference but you shouldn’t get used to feeding them wax worms because not only do they provide absolutely no benefit such as vitamins , but they’re very high in fat , so they should be given sparingly . you don’t have to provide them with a vitamin supplement as some sources will tell you but it definitely won’t hurt if you use crickets . the easiest way to trick them into taking vitamins is to sprinkle some calcium powder on crickets and to make them eat the crickets . crickets are easy to find and they’re cheap in a bundle , and not only that but they provide all the vitamins that a house gecko needs to survive , so this is the most common choice .
biology : like most other invasive species , the mediterranean gecko breeds rapidly . females are capable of laying multiple clutches of two eggs each throughout the summer . these eggs are laid in cracks and crevices in trees or man - made structures including buildings . like rodents , the mediterranean gecko has been aided by human development . it is very common to see the geckos on the sides of buildings under lights catching insects on a summer night .
they are now common along the east coast north of coffs harbour , but mr couper believes the reptiles could also establish themselves as far south as sydney , where it could survive on the warmth of household hot water systems .

birds and plants of kauai : the gecko
. accessed 6 february 2011
these tiny geckos are more common than tokays . they ' re light brown but can change colors to various shades . their skin is thin and pretty smooth . house geckos grow up to about 4 inches ( 10 cm ) long . they also make quite a loud and unique clicking sound . the suction - like feet enable them to climb and run on ceilings and walls .
in general , you should only handle your gecko if you need to remove him to clean the tank . wash your hands before and after handling your gecko , as you may have bacteria on your hands that can cause illness .
the success of the asian house gecko , like most invasive species , has come at a cost to its native cousins , which are being beaten to food and habitat by the foreigners . geckos have also transferred disease - carrying mites to the native species .
house geckos are fast moving so catching them may be difficult . be careful when handling them as their tails detach easily as a defense mechanism .
a number of superstitious thais believe that big house geckos are reincarnations of their grandparents , who have come to protect them . if a tokay makes sound during the day , it ' s a warning that bad luck may come to one of the family members who lives in the house .
your house gecko will shed his skin in patches every four to six weeks . he may turn a dull color and the skin over his eyelids may pop as he sheds his skin . though the shedding can look uncomfortable , do not try to peel off the skin from him as this can be painful and dangerous for your gecko . if the tank conditions are humid enough , your gecko should be able to shed his skin on his own and he may even eat his own shedded skin .
history : it is uncertain how the mediterranean gecko first made its way to the united states . it was first reported in key west , florida 1915 . it is thought that this gecko was probably a stowaway on a ship from the mediterranean area . mediterranean geckos are quite common in the pet trade , which has no doubt led to its spread across the united states . currently , this species has high numbers in florida , and has established breeding populations all along southern states .
while the gecko ' s impact has not been studied closely , it has been identified as a
generalist predator
, possibly causing declines in urban populations of some native insects and spiders and competing with native gecko species for food .

common house geckoes are very popular among pet owners because they are small , inexpensive , and relatively easy to keep in captivity . they vary in color from yellowish tan with darker spots or blotches to pale grayish - white ; they sometimes appear paler at night . these geckoes reach an adult length of 3 to 5 inches ( including the tail ) and can live for 5 to 10 years in captivity .

the common house gecko is found in tropical , subtropical , and warm - temperate regions and prefers warm , humid areas . it is a nocturnal species that likes to hide in shelters during the day time . they can be found in a wide range of habitats , such as rain forests , savannas , and deserts . it was originally a terrestrial tree - living species , but in more populated human areas , it occurs on buildings , especially near artificial lighting . the species is commonly seen close to electric lights after nightfall . in more natural environments ,
since they are carnivorous you need to provide live insects for food , although when you fist capture or buy them they might not eat for two or three days ( due to stress ) . either crickets and mealworms purchased at a pet store or live bugs caught around the house . choose crickets that are smaller than your gecko ' s head . too large of a cricket can actually bite and wound a gecko .
a nearby monitoring site located a kilometre from the town recorded no asian house geckos , even though the species were abundant in pormpuraaw for at least 30 years .

because house geckos are nocturnal , they will need a place to sleep and hide at night . you can buy hiding structures , often made of cork , from your local pet store . buy two hiding structures and place one on the cool side of the tank and one on the warm side . this will give your gecko the option of cooling down or warming up . try to have at least two hides per gecko .

house geckoes are established in numerous tropical regions outside their native range , including hawaii and florida . they prey on native insects , but it is not clear whether they have caused significant declines or extinctions in any species . in hawaii , house geckoes have displaced native geckoes from preferred foraging locations on buildings , and to a lesser extent in the native gecko’s natural forested habitat . house geckoes are thought to have become so widely distributed by hitchhiking rides on ships and other transports , or as eggs in the soil of nursery plants ; however , owners should be careful not to contribute to the problem by releasing their pets into the wild .


rhinconichthys is an extinct genus of bony fish which existed during the upper cretaceous period .

along with its close cousins the great-white-shark-sized or larger bonnerichthys and the immense leedsichthys , rhinconichthys forms a line of giant filter-feeding bony pachycormid fish that swam the jurassic and cretaceous seas for over 100 million years .

rhinconichthys

the discovery , published in the journal cretaceous research , describes the us species – rhinconichthys purgatoirensis – and the japanese species – rhinconichthys uyenoi . the fish have joined just one other fossilised species in the rhinconichthys genus , discovered in england six years ago .
rhinconichthys was estimated to be more than 6 . 5 feet and fed on plankton .
the more than 6 . 5 - feet - long rhinconichthys feasted on plankton using its oar - shaped mouth .
rhinconichthys belongs to an extinct bony fish group called pachycormids , which contains the largest bony fish ever to have lived .
where in the world ? : rhinconichthys purgatoirensis was found in eastern colorado , with other species turning up in england and japan .
the fossil , whose proper genus is rhinconichthys , was taken to the rocky mountain dinosaur resource center in woodland park for study and exhibit .
rhinconichthys was first named in 2010 ,  from fossils that had been discovered in england .  then in 2016 a description of two new species ,  r .  uyenoi from japan and r .  purgatoirensis from the usa were described ,  revealing to us that this fish genus potentially had a global distribution .  rhinconichthys is noted for the large hyomandibulae bones which would have allowed this to have had an incredibly wide gape ,  in turn allowing rhinconichthys to filter large amounts of plankton from the sea water . rhinconichthys is related to the genera bonnerichthys and leedsichthys .
shimada first encountered a rhinconichthys fossil about 30 years ago in the office of his mentor , teruya uyeno , a curator emeritus of the national museum of science and nature in japan . later , in 2010 , shimada and his colleagues uncovered another rhinconichthys in england , which they named r . taylori .
the rhinconichthys lived in the seas of the dinosaur era , about 92 million years ago , and consumed plankton on an industrial scale , according to rmdrc .
one of the authors of the study , kenshu shimada , a paleobiologist at depaul university , said rhinconichthys are exceptionally rare , known previously by only one species from england .
the most defining aspect to the rhinconichthys genus is its peculiar mouth . similar to a modern - day pelican , the fish had a huge mouth that could open extremely wide .
“based on our new study , we now have three different species of rhinconichthys from three separate regions of the globe , each represented by a single skull , ” he said .
scientists have lately discovered two plankton - munching fossil fish species of the rhinconichthys genus from the cretaceous period , swimming the oceans around 92 million years ago when dinosaurs still roamed earth .
' based on our new study , we now have three different species of rhinconichthys from three separate regions of the globe , each represented by a single skull , ' shimada noted .
three different rhinconichthys from three separate geographical regions now turn up in scientific literature , each represented by a single skull . to shimada , it isn ' t any less mind - boggling .
meaning : rhinconichthys is a tribute to an unpublished name coined by 19th century paleontologist gideon mantell for specimens of this genus found in england , while purgatoirensis for colorado’s purgatoire river drainage where the new species was found .
an international team of scientists have discovered two new plankton - eating fossil fish species of the genus called rhinconichthys from the oceans of the cretaceous period , about 92 million years ago , when dinosaurs roamed the planet .

skulls of the fish known as rhinconichthys were found in colorado and the re - examination of a second one from japan — which triples the numbers of species in the genus known to science and greatly expands their geographical range .
we know such a fish existed thanks to fossils discovered by paleontologist bruce schumacher and described with his colleagues earlier this year . they named the filter - feeder rhinconichthys purgatoirensis , a new species of a genus that had previously been found in england and japan . the colorado species is significantly older than its evolutionary siblings , however , punting rhinconichthys back in time as well as establishing that these fish were present in the western hemisphere through much of the cretaceous .
' i was in a team that named rhinconichthys in 2010 , which was based on a single species from england , but we had no idea back then that the genus was so diverse and so globally distributed , ' said shimada .
rhinconichthys is part of a family called the pachycormids , which includes the largest known bony fishes to live on earth . species in this fish family don ' t have any living descendants , but they lived large during their day . for example , all of the known species of rhinconichthys had a skinny body , and measured at least 6 . 5 feet ( 2 meters ) long , including its immense 1 . 5 - foot - long ( 0 . 5 m ) head .
the new study , ' highly specialized suspension - feeding bony fish rhinconichthys ( actinopterygii : pachycormiformes ) from the mid - cretaceous of the united states , england and japan , ' will appear in the forthcoming issue of the international scientific journal cretaceous research .
this
planktivorous
diet , also known as suspension feeding , is still used by marine vertebrates today , including the blue whale , manta ray and whale shark . thanks to the rhinconichthys findings , researchers know that animals also used this method during the mesozoic era , when the dinosaurs were alive .
based on our new study , we now have three different species of rhinconichthys from three separate regions of the globe ,
said kenshu shimada , researcher on the study .
this tells just how little we still know about the biodiversity of organisms through the earth ' s history . it ' s really mindboggling .
until now , scientists had only identified one species of this fish , which belongs to the genus rhinconichthys ( rink - oh - neek - thees ) . the new study builds on that count , and shows that these fish lived all over the world , the researchers said . [ image gallery : ancient monsters of the sea ]
moreover , rhinconichthys ' long head housed a large jaw that gaped open like a muppet ' s mouth , shimada said . one pair of bones , called the hyomandibulae , formed a large , oar - shaped lever that helped the jaws protrude and swing open , helping the fish fill its mouth with tasty plankton , he said .
rhinconichthys are outstandingly rare large - mouthed fish , previously known by a single species from england . but that count has been expanded to two more and from other geographical locations , thanks to a new skull discovered in colorado in the united states ( named r . purgatoirensis ) and a reexamined skull from japan ( r . uyenoi ) .
the species discovered in the us was found by bruce a schumacher , as he was conducting field research in 2012 . he noticed a potential fossil protruding from a rock in colorado , and began to slowly chisel away at the surrounding material to reveal the fin rays of a bony fish . his discovery is the most complete rhinconichthys yet .
based on our new study , we now have three different species of rhinconichthys from three separate regions of the globe , each represented by a single skull ,
study co - researcher kenshu shimada , a paleobiologist at depaul university in chicago , said in a statement .
this tells just how little we still know about the biodiversity of organisms through the earth ' s history . it ' s really mind - boggling .
not that rhinconichthys was the only filter - feeding fish around . along with other research that has identified and named the giant bonnerichthys and planktivorous sharks , schumacher and coauthors point out that there was a wide array of filter - feeding fish throughout cretaceous time . this is about more than species counts . where there are big planktivores , there has to be enough plankton for them to eat . before mantas , before whales , fish such as these were the largest creatures to strain the seas .

study author and paleobiologist kenshu shimada of depaul university was part of the team that named the genus back in 2010 .
[ b ] ut we had no idea back then that the genus was so diverse and so globally distributed ,
he said in a press release .
this interesting genus belongs to a now - extinct group of bony fish known as pachycormids , which boasts of the largest bony fish ever to have existed on the planet .
the feeding process is a unique one : a pair of bones called hyomandibulae formed a huge lever to protrude and swing the animals ' jaws open like a parachute , extra wide to receive as much plankton - laced water into the mouth . think of the way sharks open their mouth to attack their food .
suspension - feeding or a plankton - rich diet during the dinosaur age is an emerging area of interest . it is , however , common today among certain marine vertebrates , such as the whale shark and blue whale .
this tells just how little we still know about the biodiversity of organisms through the earth ' s history ,

scientists have found two new extinct fossil fish species in japan and colorado . both species are characterised by their huge mouths , which open so widely so that they could gather as much plankton as possible when feeding .
the researchers , from depaul university , say that these species lived about 92 million years ago , a time when dinosaurs were still alive . the us species , r . purgatoirensis , was believed to be around 2 - 2 . 7m long , with the japanese r . uyenoi slightly larger at 3 . 4 - 4 . 5m .
this is because one of its bones – the hyomandibulae – could extend like an oar - shaped lever to swing the jaws open to a wide angle , enabling it to draw in as much plankton as possible when swimming .
the hyomandibula acts as an elongate lever ,
said shimada ,
allowing greatly amplified protrusion of the jaws and expansion of the buccal cavity .
this specialised cranial construction was previously unknown among cretaceous bony fish , and functionally parallels that of the modern paddlefish polyodon and many sharks .
the researchers write in the report that discoveries like this are changing historical interpretations of fish that feed on plankton .
if you could take a dip in the cretaceous sea that covered colorado around 92 million years ago , you might spot what would initially look like a pretty plain fish . around six feet long , or a comparable to a mid - sized tuna , the streamlined swimmer would have a bullet - like profile . until it opened its mouth . in one swift motion the long lower jaw would snap open , creating a planktivorous parachute to catch some of the ocean’s smallest morsels .

estimated to have been than 6 . 5 feet , it’s strangest feature might be the pair of bones called hyomandibulae that formed a massive oar - shaped lever to protrude and swing the jaws open extra wide , like a parachute .
that allowed it to ingest the plankton - rich water , similar to methods used by some modern sharks such as the basking and whale shark .

comanche national grassland - a new fossil has been discovered in southern colorado that ' s being nicknamed a muppetfish .
it was found in the comanche national grassland in 2013 by dr . bruce schumacher , a paleontologist from the us forest service .
after removing the rock and stabilizing the fossil , the dinosaur resource center started ,
jokingly referring to it as ‘the muppetfish’ after its resemblance to the character beaker .
the discovery is being published in the latest issue of the scientific journal cretaceous research .

the discovery of fossilized skulls of a muppet - like cretaceous - age fish is helping researchers learn about its geographical distribution .
a muppet - faced fish with a lanky body more than 6 feet long gulped down plankton in earth ' s ancient oceans about 92 million years ago , a new study finds .
researchers identified two new species of the enormous fish , which lived during the cretaceous period , when dinosaurs roamed the world . but like many of its contemporaries , the fish went extinct after an asteroid struck the yucatan peninsula about 66 million years ago .
we had no idea back then that the genus was so diverse and so globally distributed ,
shimada said .
in 2012 , researchers unearthed a new specimen in southeastern colorado , named r . purgatoirensis for the rugged purgatoire river valley where it was found , shimada said . it took excavators more than 150 hours to remove the ancient skull from the surrounding rocks , he added .
in the new study , the researchers described the colorado specimen and reanalyzed the fish fossil from hokkaido , japan , which they called r . uyenoi in honor of shimada ' s mentor . the new analyses helped them learn more about ancient sea life , the researchers said .
these pachycormids really cornered the market on industrial - scale plankton consumption during the age of the dinosaurs ,
shimada said .
the fish had a highly expandable mouth that perhaps looked like a ' tube ' about 1 foot [ 0 . 3 m ] in diameter to take in a large amount of water to filter feed plankton using its gill apparatus .
we have just barely scratched the surface of what was likely a complex ecosystem that existed in oceans during the age of the dinosaurs ,
shimada said .
