Living habits:

Gecko is an animal that lies in the daytime and comes out at night. Lurking in hidden places such as cracks in the wall, under the eaves of tiles and behind cabinets during the day, and coming out at night. On summer and autumn nights, geckos often appear on walls, eaves or telephone poles illuminated by lights, preying on mosquitoes, flies, moths, spiders and other beneficial and harmless animals.

When the gecko is frightened or you catch it, as long as you touch it, its tail will be broken immediately, and the gecko will take the opportunity to escape. This phenomenon is called "self-cutting" in zoology, also known as "self-cutting", "self-mutilation" and "self-cutting".

Because the broken tail has many nerves, after it leaves the body, the nerves don't lose their function immediately, so it still swings, playing a scary role, and sometimes it can achieve the purpose of self-defense.
