African Wall Gecko

The African Wall Gecko, also known as Tarentola annularis, is a species of gecko found in the northern regions of Africa, from Morocco to Libya.

This gecko has a small, slender body that can grow up to 10 cm in length. Its body is covered in small, granular scales and its coloration can range from light brown to gray with darker markings or bands. Its large eyes have vertical pupils, which helps it see in low light conditions.

As their name suggests, African Wall Geckos are often found living on walls, buildings, and other man-made structures in their natural habitat. They are nocturnal and feed on insects and other small invertebrates.

In captivity, African Wall Geckos can make interesting and relatively low-maintenance pets. They require a secure terrarium with hiding places, climbing structures, and a basking area. They are primarily insectivores and can be fed a diet of crickets, mealworms, and other small insects. African Wall Geckos are also known for their ability to regenerate their tails if they are lost or damaged, although this should not be relied upon as a defense mechanism.
