Sääntelykehikoista

Sääntelykehikoista, also known as the common house gecko, is a species of gecko native to Southeast Asia. It is one of the most widely distributed species of gecko, found in countries such as India, Sri Lanka, Indonesia, and the Philippines. The common house gecko is known for its ability to adapt to various environments, including urban areas, and is often found in homes and buildings.

The common house gecko is typically small, with adults reaching a length of about 10-15 cm (4-6 inches), including the tail. It has a slender body, large eyes, and a long tail. The gecko's coloration varies, often being brown or gray with lighter markings, which helps it blend into its surroundings. It is a nocturnal creature, meaning it is most active during the night.

The common house gecko is an insectivore, feeding on a variety of insects such as flies, mosquitoes, and cockroaches. It is also known to feed on spiders and other small arthropods. The gecko's diet helps control pest populations in urban environments.

Despite its adaptability, the common house gecko is not typically considered a pest. However, it is important to note that geckos can carry salmonella bacteria, which can be transmitted to humans through direct contact or contaminated surfaces. It is recommended to wash hands thoroughly after handling geckos to minimize the risk of infection.

The common house gecko plays a role in its ecosystem by controlling insect populations. Its presence in urban areas can be an indicator of a healthy environment, as it thrives in the same conditions as humans. However, it is important to manage gecko populations to prevent potential health risks.
