The Mediterranean House Gecko is a small reptile that has gained widespread distribution outside its native territory in Southern Europe, North Africa, and parts of the Middle East. They have adapted to human settlements, including residential areas. 

Their light skin can change color to blend in with their surroundings, and their bodies are covered in small bumps. Likewise, their unique toe pads allow them to climb walls and ceilings, making them efficient hunters. 

These geckos are nocturnal, hunting insects and spiders for their diet. The Mediterranean House Gecko also helps control pest populations in residential areas.
