The Tokay Gecko is a nocturnal arboreal gecko native to southeast Asia and the Indo-Australian Archipelago. They are abundant, ranging from northeast India and Bangladesh, throughout Southeast Asia, to Indonesia and western New Guinea. Their native habitat is rainforest trees and cliffs, and they also frequently adapt to human habitations, roaming walls and ceilings at night in search of insect prey.
In the late 1980s and early 1990s it was introduced into Hawaii, Florida, Belize, and several Caribbean islands, where it can be considered an invasive species. It is arboreal, living on cliffs and trees; it is usual to see them inside human residences. A typical lifespan is 7&#8211;10 years. Tokay geckos are aggressive carnivores which will eat a variety of insects and even small mice. Their aggressive behaviour can lead to attacks on other male Tokays, other gecko species, and also human handlers.</description><item><title>Tokay Gecko Line Art Illustration</title><link>http://inkart.net/art/wildlife_art/tokay_gecko/</link><description>An expertly rendered realistic line art illustration of a Tokay Gecko.
