RE: Hemidactylus mabouia (a small visitor) [ESP-ENG]

Hello hello

I am delighted to tell you that I have several at home and extremely large - I also live in a building - it seems that I have hatchlings there as they are the guests for several years, the truth is that I love them.
A few years ago I left a container with oil without a lid in the kitchen and they were mating at night and fell both in the emptying, what a shame, since then I try not to leave anything there that could be a danger to them.

They love to go out and hunt their insects on very hot nights, and they keep my house clean of spiders, cockroaches and any other insect of their liking.

I always thought they looked like geckos, but I didn't know they were...I love taking pictures of them but they are very restless and run off very fast, and they do make that strange noise and I think they do it with their tails.....

My pet Chloe, the Chihuahua, every time she sees them, she barks and barks at them, and they completely ignore her but they still watch her...that always makes me laugh....

I love my half transparent and huge geckos...they certainly know how to take care of themselves very well, just avoid accidents inside the house, they tend to run around a lot and fall anywhere.

Ey i would love to see some pics of them, if you capture this, is welcome. They are amazing guys!

Yes, of course...

I know where some of them sleep... hahahaha

omg really?, I'll be looking forward to those photographs, or that publication, don't hesitate to tag me, I love that!

Ok...just look at this one lives behind some dishes on the shelf, the others are more nocturnal, but I also know where they live....
This one I didn't want to scare, maybe that's why I can't see it well.

Sí logro tomarles buenas fotos está noche tal vez me anime a dedicarles un post.😁

Ohh they are fabulous! And they are quite big! How long have they been living in your home? There are only 2 of them or is just 1?. Do they make sounds?

My friend @bulkathos told me that he is a biologist, that they make that kek kek noise because it is a call to their partner.

Have you given them names?

Thank you for sharing these wonderful photos!

Actually, the photos correspond to only one, this is not the largest one.
I think I have a couple of specimens living at home for more than 5 years, and it seems that they have had a family because I have seen smaller ones.

And as your friend says, I have seen that they make the noise to attract females.

I have also seen them on the stairs outside...they go in and out of the apartments...they even take advantage of the electrical outlets to do so.

Anyway, I'm going to gather material to document them... hahaha... I don't know how I didn't think of that...

Thanks for the exchange

Impressive, they show that they are very intelligent when there is no light, but my friend told me that they have nocturnal habits.

It's great that you are taking photographs, and you can publish them here in this community, the truth is these are very unique creatures.

The administrator told me that there is an urban myth that says that "that these animals make women fall in love?" curious, right?

Delighted with your contribution, thank you very much!
