The wide tail stores fat. Snakes are geckos' main predators. When a gecko is caught by its tail, it releases the tail, which twitches for a while, allowing the gecko to escape capture. The gecko will later grow another tail. Geckos live in a variety of warm habitats, including rainforests , deserts , grasslands , and marshes.
Geckos hatch from eggs.
Females usually lay 2 white, sticky eggs. The eggs are soft at first, but harden quickly. There is no parental care. Geckos will sometimes eat their own eggs.
