Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus Garnotii) - Animal India
An Indo-Pacific Gecko (Hemidactylus garnotii), also known as Garnot's House Gecko or the Fox Gecko, is seen attempting to enter a switchboard in Tehatta, West Bengal, India, on November 13, 2024. This nocturnal species, found across India, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Australia, and Polynesia, is unique for its parthenogenic reproduction, as all individuals are female and lay eggs that hatch without male fertilization. Geckos entering electrical systems can pose risks, potentially causing electrical faults, appliance failures, and even fires. (Photo by Soumyabrata Roy/NurPhoto)
