They are beautiful in their own way and are certainly useful, because they feed on creatures like mosquitoes, flies and snails which are pests to humans.
Geckos are small, fragile lizards.
Their scales do not overlap and to many people they are cute, because of their bulging eyes and padded feet or long-clawed toes. Skinks are very common around Wangaratta, near where I live. They have smooth scales and move very quickly into cracks or behind grass. We handle them gently so they don't drop their tails. They store food and water in them.
