Forest Gecko

Gekko smithi

The giant forest gecko is found in low to mid-level rainforest in undisturbed habitat. It is also sometimes called the 'green-eyed gecko' due to the unmistakable colour of its eyes. In addition, there are rows of whitish and brownish spots lining the back. Giant forest geckos have a pugnacious temperament and will stand its ground when confronted with a threat. It is nocturnal and feeds on large insects in the wild. It occurs in Southeast Asia, including Southern Thailand, Malaysia, Singapore and Indonesia.
