Did you know?
- The Marbled Gecko sometimes lives communally, with several individuals sharing a single shelter, especially during colder months.
- Marbled Geckos can drop their tails as a defense mechanism and regrow them over time. Their toes feature microscopic hairs (setae), allowing them to cling to glass and other smooth surfaces. Unlike some gecko species, Marbled Geckos are capable of making soft chirping sounds to communicate.
