Gecko Sunning Itself

‎The Mediterranean House Gecko, Hemidactylus turcicus, also called the Turkish Gecko, is a nocturnal lizard inhabiting the Mediterranean Basin and surrounding areas. Rarely growing longer than six inches (15 cm), they have large, lidless eyes with elliptical pupils. The skin of the head and upper body exhibits dark spots over a yellow or tan base, and the tail usually features dark stripes. Geckos emit a high-pitched call that sounds like a bird chirping. Though dietarily unclean in the Mosaic Law, they have adapted well to living around humans.

‎Lev 11:30, Prov 30:28
