Gekko monarchus

Appearance

• This lizard has the typical body build of the genus Gekko - it appears flat and has a rough skin with small bumps on its back.
• Their tails regenerate once dropped, as with most gecko species. The regenerated tail will never look the same as the original (it has a different texture and slightly odd color)
• Similar to common house geckos and dtellas, males make quiet clicking sounds when courting a female; both sexes are capable of chirping and "barking". When startled or alarmed, the gecko waves its tail quickly and may breathe heavily, making a sound not unlike hissing.
• They have a W spot on the backs of their heads, typical for this species.
• Monarch geckos are strictly insectivorous, feeding on various types of insects (roaches, crickets, flies, spiders, even wasps).
