Mourning Gecko (Lepidodactylus lugubris)

The Mourning Gecko originates from the Indo-Pacific region. It also emits a unique 'mourning' call, a series of soft, sorrowful chirps. This type of gecko can thrive in different parts of the world. 

These geckos are small, with an average size of around 4 inches, but they can live up to ten years in captivity with proper care. Their diet consists of sweet, juicy fruits, crunchy insects, and their shed skin!

It is most active at night when it hunts for food. Notably, the Mourning Gecko is parthenogenetic, which means that females can produce offspring without a male.
