MEDITERANIAN GECKO

Also known as The Warty Gecko 

            The Mediterranean Gecko is a native of Western India and Somali and around both sides of the Mediterranean Basin to Spain, Morocco, and the Canary Islands.  This Mediterranean Gecko is found in many areas in peninsular Florida.  It grows to 5 inches long, but usually smaller with prominent tubercles on the head, body, legs, and tail  During the day, these geckos are brownish to gray colored with darker, irregular dorsal markings, but they lighten up to a alight gray, pinkish ivory, or pasty white color at night and may lack markings. They are often found on the walls or ceilings of buildings at night, often feeding on insects around lights. The males can make weak, squeaking noises and are territorial.  The Mediterranean Gecko was once locally common in the Lower Florida Keys but has been almost completely replaced by the tropical house gecko. In southern mainland Florida, the Mediterranean Gecko has been mostly replaced by the tropical house gecko and Indo-Pacific Gecko.  The decline in distribution and abundance of the Mediterranean Gecko in Southern Florida may be due to competition with other recently established and rapidly dispersing geckos that are more fecund because of continuous reproduction, unlike the seasonal reproductive cycle of the Mediterranean Gecko.
