Re: Gecko eat Scorpion

That is called a tockay gecko..it can only be found on islands or coastal areas. Given dlangkawi's nickname he probably resides in langkawi (correct?) where that gecko is abundant.

From Wiki:

..."The Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko) is a nocturnal arboreal gecko, ranging from northeast India and Bangladesh, throughout Southeast Asia, 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 urbanisation 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..."

Re: Gecko eat Scorpion

I'd prefer to have that gecko in my house too so that it can eat all the abundant roaches in my house...

wahahaha... agreed. These creatures are aggressive and, they make knocking noise during the night. 1st encounter with these creatures during the perhentian trip really scares the hell out of me, thinking dat someone is knocking on the door or some sort
