Turkish Gecko
Found only two of these small geckos while searching the Mediterranean coastal brush. It was a hot day and this guy was under some boards. In this southern area of Spain there are two geckos, which are this and the moorish gecko of which this specie was less common.
The Mediterranean house gecko, scientific name ''Hemidactylus turcicus'' is a small gecko common to the Mediterranean which has spread to many parts of the world. It is also commonly referred to as the Turkish Gecko as represented in its Latin name. They are insectivorous, rarely exceeding 15 centimetres in length, have large, lidless eyes with elliptical pupils, and yellow- or tan-colored skin with black spots, often with stripes on the tail.
