About Geckos

Geckos have two transparent eyelids which are permanently fused together. They cannot blink but use their spoon like tongues to frequently clean their eyelids.

Geckos shed their skins (which are made of small scales) – every six weeks or so in warmer weather.

A gecko can detach it’s tail if caught by a predator, although the green tree dwelling geckos are more reluctant to do this than other geckos because they use their tail for climbing.

Geckos tend to live alone and are very territorial. They raise up and open their mouths to scare away intruders.

Unlike other reptiles Geckos have a range of vocal sounds from chirping and chattering through to a loud croaking sound.

Geckos have superb grasping abilities and some tropical gecko are even able to walk upside down across a ceiling.

Green iguanas, not surprisingly, are green in color, but can be found in many different shade ranging from bright green, to a dull, grayish-green. Their skin is rough, with a set of pointy scales along the iguana's back. Green iguanas have long fingers and claws to help them climb and grasp. This Hand Puppet is 38 inches long.
