Cool (Kuhl's) Flying Gecko Have been on the look out for this cool Flying Gecko when I know they can be found at my current location and was talking about it with my new friends I met during hiking.  Then one of them who takes care of an abandoned haunted house on top of the hill told me he has seen it before at the abandoned house, I was a bit skeptical until he showed me the picture.<br />
<br />
After that, I keep looking out for it when at the house and was not disappointed when I eventually found it and now I can see this beauty regularly as she has taken up residence at the abandoned house!<br />
<br />
They do not fly, instead they glides with the help of the webbed feet and wide flattened tail. Have seen it a couple of time, gliding from near the roof top to the ground or to a nearby tree.<br />
<br />
And they have a Cool (Kuhl) name!<br />

Cool (Kuhl's) Flying Gecko

Have been on the look out for this cool Flying Gecko when I know they can be found at my current location and was talking about it with my new friends I met during hiking. Then one of them who takes care of an abandoned haunted house on top of the hill told me he has seen it before at the abandoned house, I was a bit skeptical until he showed me the picture.

After that, I keep looking out for it when at the house and was not disappointed when I eventually found it and now I can see this beauty regularly as she has taken up residence at the abandoned house!

They do not fly, instead they glides with the help of the webbed feet and wide flattened tail. Have seen it a couple of time, gliding from near the roof top to the ground or to a nearby tree.

And they have a Cool (Kuhl) name!
