Hemidactylus mabouia
Aquí les comparto estas imágenes de unas fotos que he tomado a esta amistosa criatura.
Deseándoles que tengan un buen día, y estoy seguro que el amiguito de las fotos también quiere lo mismo.
Here I share these images of some photos I have taken of this friendly creature.
Wishing you a good day, and I'm sure the little friend in the photos also wants the same.
Hace unos días escuche unos ruidos en mi cocina, eran sonidos como ¡kek!¡kek!¡kek! (una pena que no pueda incorporar el sonido aqui, me encantarian que lo pudiesen escuchar pues es muy peculiar) e inmediatamente fui a investigar de que se trataba, encendí la luz y me encontré con este amiguito.
Al parecer el se dedica a cazar en horas de la noche, pues es cuando los insectos tienen mas actividad en la cocina, seguramente estaba buscando algunas arañas, polillas o mosquitos por allí.
A few days ago I heard some noises in my kitchen, they were sounds like kek!kek!kek! (a shame I can't incorporate the sound here, I would love for you to be able to hear it because it is very peculiar) and immediately I went to investigate what it was about, I turned on the light and I found this little friend.
Apparently he hunts at night, because that is when the insects are most active in the kitchen. He was probably looking for some spiders, moths or mosquitoes there.
House gecko 😀
Este es un Hemidactylus mabouia popularmente conocido como "gecko casero tropical", o como le decimos aquí en este pais "Tuqueque de casa".
Intuyo que el andaba en labores de cacería por los ruidos que hacia.
Cuando yo encendí la luz, se quedo paralizo, supongo por la sorpresa de verme. Yo inmediatamente me aparte para no asustarlo y fue corriendo a mi cuarto a buscar el teléfono con la esperanza de lograr tomarle unas fotos antes de que sintiera miedo y se fuera.
Yo sentí la inmediata necesidad de inmortalizar a esta asombroso ninja en forma de fotografías para compartirlas con ustedes.
This is a Hemidactylus mabouia popularly known as a "tropical house gecko", or as we call it here in this country "House gecko".
I sense that he was hunting because of the noises he made.
When I turned on the light, he froze, I guess from the surprise of seeing me. I immediately moved away so as not to scare him and ran to my room to look for the phone, in the hope of taking some photos of him before he felt scared and left.
I felt the immediate need to immortalize this amazing ninja in the form of photographs to share with you.
Hunting mode: ON
En mi hogar es rarisimo ver a esta criatura, ya que vivo en edificio, y puedo decirles que en raras ocasiones los he visto merodeando por mi casa, así que estoy muy excitado de poder mostrárselo.
El amiguito se quedo inmóvil mientras le tomaba las foto, asombrosamente no se asusto durante unos 30 segundos cuando acerque el telefono a unos 30 centímetros de distancia. Pueden ver que hasta parecia posar para que le tomara las fotografias.
Logre capturar solo 4 fotos de este señorito que captaron toda su majestuosidad.
Al retirarse lo hizo con una rapidez impresionante y silenciosamente (como todo buen ninja), dejandome con las ganas de saber mas acerca de el.
La taxonomia de esta criatura segun este articulo de Wikipedia es como sigue:
- Reino : Animalia
- Filo : Chordata
- Clase : Sauropsida
- Orden : Squamata
- Suborden: Lacertilia
- Familia : Gekkonidae
- Genero : Hemidactylus
- Especie : Hemidactylus mabouia
In my home it is very rare to see this creature, since I live in a building, and I can tell you that on rare occasions I have seen them prowling around my house, so I am very excited to be able to show it to you.
The little friend stayed motionless while I took the photo, amazingly he didn't get scared for about 30 seconds when I brought the phone about 30 centimeters away. You can see that he even seemed to pose for me to take his photographs.
I managed to capture only 4 photos of this young man that captured all the majesty of him.
When he retired, he did so with impressive speed and silently (like all good ninjas), leaving me wanting to know more about him.
The taxonomy of this creature according to this article from Wikipedia is as follows:
- Kingdom: Animalia
- Edge: Chordata
- Class: Sauropsida
- Order: Squamata
- Suborder: Lacertilia
- Family: Gekkonidae
- Genus: Hemidactylus
- Species: Hemidactylus mabouia
Incredible ninja
Cuando pienso en estas criaturas no puedo evitar el asociarlo a ninjas que trepan por las paredes y suben a grandes alturas, porque en mi caso, vivo en un piso 13 y me pregunto como este ser tan pequeño ha podido llegar hasta aqui a visitarme y a satisfacer sus necesidades basicas de alimentarse.
Esto es puro instinto de supervivencia, lo que sin lugar a dudas me confima una vez mas que la naturaleza es asombrosa.
Espero que estas fotos les hayan gustado. Muchas gracias por su tiempo. Les deseo amor y paz en sus vidas para cada uno de uds 💞☮️🤗.
When I think about these creatures I can't help but associate them with ninjas that climb walls and climb to great heights, because in my case, I live on the 13th floor and I wonder how this small being could have gotten here to visit me and satisfy their basic feeding needs.
This is pure survival instinct, which without a doubt confirms to me once again that nature is amazing.
I hope you liked these photos. Thank you very much for your time. I wish love and peace in your lives for each of you 💞☮️🤗.
This is my black cat "manclar", this account is to honor his dead (it happened years ago).

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
De esas cosas hay por montones en mi casa jeje y siempre pelean entre ellos xd
Ah claro, en el monte hay muchos! 😂 .
A mi me gusta como estos bichitos hacen ese ruido muy peculiar, son unos animales muy simpáticos te diré. Ademas se comen todas las chiripas en la cocina, son increíbles!
Hola manclar si yo tengo varios Tuqueques en mi casa me ayudaron mucho con la plaga de chiripas que tuve en la cocina alguna vez, desde entonces les tengo un gran cariño jeje saludos.
!BBH
A mi este señorito me ayuda mucho con las chiripas que andan por alli en la cocina, y no quiero que se vaya.
¿Alguna recomendación para ayudarlo a que se quede en casa y se sienta mejor bro?
!PIZZA
Y no extraña que un día puedan hasta volar ja ja ja... Yo digo que esos animales han estado mutando jajaja...
Huy!, el solo imaginar que le salgan alas me pinta un panorama asi de lo mas jurasico, esa vaina es heavy totalmente!.
Pensar el bichito ese volando de noche por la sala de tu casa pescando una araña es una escena perturbadora! jajajaja
I am missing one thing in the story, the meaning of the visit.....
Best regards @manclar
Gecko was hunting, I don't see any major intention there.
What you do have to be careful, because this guy eats spiders, so I recommend caution... (a little, tiny, this size or less 😃)
😂
Somos muchas, cuidado!!!

I loved your post! The photo does not help you with such excellent content, you are an example of a good post, it is evident that you used the Wikipedia reference to support what you say! Do you know that there are urban myths that these animals make women fall in love? LOL, crazy, right? I think that these things make people kill them unfairly, but they are great pest controllers. They eat spiders that are dangerous for us and bugs. YOUR POST IS PARTICIPATING FOR THE WEEKLY PRIZE. By the way, who is the cat?
Hey thankyou, such a nice commentary @biologistbrito i really apreciate it! 💓
Yes, my phone's camera didn't help me, however I didn't want to miss this curious little friend, who is so amazing.
Wow, I didn't know that myth, but how interesting! (could it be true?) LOL.
People kill them, and it turns out that these are amazing, and even friendly, creatures! This gecko is still in my home, I have already seen him several nights and I would like to know what I can do to help him!
Yes, I know it eats spiders and small cockroaches too (ideal for kitchens hahaha).
Hey thanks, I didn't know anything about a prize.
The black cat is my late pet, he died years ago, his name is "Manclar", and about 6 years ago I decided to create this account to honor him by naming it after him. Of course, it is clear that I am a cat lover =D
And I didn't know about this community until recently, when I was looking for the right place to post about the Hemidactylus. The truth is, I'm very happy to find it and I'm sure when I take some other photos I'll share them.
!PIZZA
Thank you for teaching us something new! I'm so sorry about your cat :(
For me it is a great pleasure to be here, I will invite a great friend to participate, he is a scientist and lover of these things.
Regarding my cat, don't worry, he is still more alive than ever, now he is immortalized in the blockchain with this account, with which I will continue to make him grow and create content, because I love that you know him. I thank you for asking me about him, this revives the flame and makes me very happy 💜
@bulkathos I invite you to join this community and share your knowledge about animals, brother.

Seguramente habra dicho: "Si no me muevo, no me ve, ALV me vioooo" jajaja esa cosita se subio 13 pisos wooow yo no puedo ni con uno jajaja
Se ve muy tierna, hasta parece que esta posando para las fotos 😂
Yo no entiendo como llego al piso 13?, porque si es una cria de otro, entonces como llegaron sus padres aquí (y no he visto a sus padres, me encantaría verlos si es que están por aquí)
El buhito sube un piso y se tira en el suelo a dormir 😂
Te juro que yo pensé que me miraba mientras tomaba las fotos, tuve esa sensación, eso fue el momento asombroso del día.
Y lo veo todas las noches, anda por allí haciendo ¡kek! ¡kek!
Ando averiguando como puedo ayudarlo!.
SJSSJS bastante tierno, por aca los ves en las paredes de a dos, dando paseos o jugando entre si.
Son unos animales muy inteligentes, que pena que no puedo compartirles el sonido que emiten, es muy peculiar su kek kek 😃
ah que belleza, eso se llama trabajo en equipo, la naturaleza educándonos! 💚
@manclar! @bulkathos likes your content! so I just sent 1 BBH to your account on behalf of @bulkathos. (2/50)

¿Se come las arañas en casa? Habrá que adoptar uno de estos 😂
Aquí le decimos limpia casa y cada vez que se come un mosquito cata como un pajarito
Cierto se me olvido que en el interior se les llama limpia casa, estoy seguro que los conoces muy bien mi querida Reyna, pero ¿alguna vez has atrapado alguno?, abajo en esta misma publicacion hay algunas fotos de una colega que tiene un par en su casa.
A mi me encantan.
Y eso de que cantan como un pajarito me parece fascinante, me gustaria escucharlos, si alguna vez puedes documentarlo o grabarlo te invito a que lo hagas y me lo muestres!.
Si cuando comienza la plaga uno pone un bombillo y ellos se a acercan pues la plaga le gusta acercarse al bombillo y ellos dedes la pared los atrapan con la lengua, cuando salga plaga hay que tratar de grabarlos
¡Que genial!, espero que puedas grabarlos Reyna, estaré esperándolo! 😀
Jeje que cómico esos abundan aquí en mi casa amigo.. se comen las hormigas y otras alimaña, excelente información
Saludos
Son unos animales muy simpáticos. Por allí la colega adaluna mostró en los comentarios unas fotos de los que ella tiene en su casa que son enorme de grandes, son unas criaturas de lo mas simpáticas, aunque dan un poco de miedo, pero ellas no se meten con los humanos. 😀
Jaja son todos unos loquillos de verdad, su sonido es característico. Siempre pensé que era de apareamiento (incluso mi esposo bromeaba diciendo que estaban tirando) hasta que un día lo vi y lo hacen solos como temblándo. Yo los aprecio mucho son muy chéveres, más bien trato de que mis gatos no se los coman. En estos días tuve una experiencia comica con uno de ellos. Pero en fin son geniales
Saludos
Bueno segun mi estimado biologo y cientifico @bulkathos , el sonido que hacen (ese de kek kek) es cuando llaman a su pareja.
A mi me gustan estos animales, aunque el que tengo yo aquí en casa es pequeñito, mide unos 15 centímetros cuando mucho.
Ey gracias por la visita, toma un pedazo de !PIZZA 😂
I hate seeing this creature in my house. I learnt it is poisonous
Some are, most are harmless and help kill spiders in our homes :)
!PIZZA
Son efectivos para controlar algunas plagas!
!HUESO
!LOL
Ni que decirte del sonido que hacen, es realmente atractivo!.
Uno de los reptiles que mas me simpatiza.
