The tokay gecko (Gekko gecko) is a nocturnal arboreal gecko, ranging from northeast India, to Nepal and Bangladesh, throughout Southeast Asia, Philippines to Indonesia and western New Guinea. Its native habitat is rainforest trees and cliffs, and it also frequently adapts to rural human habitations, roaming walls and ceilings at night in search of insect prey. Increasing urbanization is reducing its range. In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was introduced into Hawaii, Florida, Texas, Belize, and several Caribbean islands, where it can be considered an invasive species.

Tokay geckos are among the largest geckos, with adults averaging 10-12" in total length. They usually have a greenish background color, sometimes more blue or gray, and numerous light blue and orange or red spots and some tubercular scales. The tails have bands of these colors. Males have noticeable rows of pre-anal pores around which there is often a visible yellowish waxy substance. Adult females are generally smaller and less robust than males.

Tokay geckos are almost universally noted for their aggressive attitudes, but can become accustomed to interacting with humans especially if raised in captivity and handled regularly and sensibly.
