They are generally small in size, their movements are silent, and they are recognized for sometimes being seen walking upside down on walls or glass surfaces. These animals are quite widespread in nature, living across many different climates and geographies, from Asia to Africa and from the Americas to Australia.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is known that there are nearly 1,500 species of geckos. Although these species display different colors, patterns and behaviors, their shared characteristics show just how well they have adapted to nature. In particular, their sticky toes, night vision and ability to change their body color according to their surroundings make them extremely fascinating.<\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>What Do Geckos Eat?<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<p>The vast majority of geckos are carnivorous and prefer small prey. Their food sources are generally as follows:<\/p>\n\n<ul>\n<li>Insects such as mosquitoes, flies, ants and spiders<\/li>\n<li>Fruit puree and nectar for some small species<\/li>\n<li>Live feeds for species raised in captivity (e.g. mealworms, crickets)<\/li>\n<\/ul>\n\n<p>They catch their prey with their tongues. Most nocturnal species see very well in the dark. Some species, on the other hand, are active during the day and prefer to warm up in direct sunlight.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Where Do Geckos Live?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>In nature, you can find geckos on rock surfaces, on tree trunks, and even\u2014in some species that have adapted to city life\u2014on the walls of houses. Species living in arid regions meet their water needs from their prey, while species in tropical regions prefer humid environments.<\/p>\n\n<p>Geckos are also highly adaptable creatures in enclosures or observation habitats. However, each species has different needs. Some require a dry and warm area, while others are more active in a humid living space.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>How Do Geckos Reproduce?<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>Geckos reproduce by laying eggs. The female gecko usually lays two eggs in a hidden area. The eggs hatch within 1 to 3 months. The young are quite tiny when they are born and must live on their own right from the start.<\/p>\n\n<p>In some species, in addition to sexual reproduction, parthenogenesis (producing offspring without fertilization) has also been observed. In this respect, geckos are very successful at sustaining their species in nature.<\/p>\n\n<h2><strong>Three Special Species You Can Observe at Emaar Aquarium<\/strong><\/h2>\n\n<h3><strong>Spotted Leopard Gecko<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The Spotted Leopard Gecko is one of the most well-known gecko species in Turkey. Its body is covered with black patterns resembling leopard spots, which is how it got its name. These patterns are quite prominent against its body in shades of yellow, cream and brown.<\/p>\n\n<p>It is generally active at night. It does not have sticky pads on its feet, so it cannot climb glass surfaces, but it moves quite quickly on the ground. Its quietness makes it easy to observe. Its natural habitat is the arid regions of Asia; it likes warm, dry climates.<\/p>\n\n<p>At Emaar Aquarium, you can observe this species displaying its natural behavior in a special habitat. Seeing an individual resting just behind the glass or witnessing a feeding moment can be quite exciting.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Ciliated Gecko<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The Ciliated Gecko is a species that stands out for its appearance. Just above its eyes there are eyelash-like skin protrusions, which is why it has been given the name &#8220;ciliated.&#8221; With its body color and texture, this creature looks almost like a piece of leaf.<\/p>\n\n<p>Native to New Caledonia, this species lives in humid tropical regions. It is active at night. It can walk easily on glass surfaces and, thanks to its sticky foot pads, can even hang upside down. In its natural habitat, it is mostly found in forested areas.<\/p>\n\n<p>A special humid environment has been provided at Emaar Aquarium for the reptile species on display. Thanks to tree branches, plants and hiding places, the Ciliated Gecko can exhibit its natural behavior here.<\/p>\n\n<p>It usually watches its prey silently, waiting for the right moment to neutralize it with a sudden strike.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>New Caledonian Giant Gecko<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p>The New Caledonian Giant Gecko is the largest living gecko (lizard) species in the world and is regarded as a striking example of &#8220;island gigantism.&#8221; Individuals from the Grande Terre region can reach 36-43 cm in length and weigh between 250 and 500 grams. These dimensions set it completely apart from smaller gecko species, giving it a truly impressive appearance.<\/p>\n\n<p>As its name suggests, this species is native to the humid tropical forests of New Caledonia and is an arboreal (tree-dwelling) creature. It spends most of its time on tree trunks and branches. It is especially active at night, while during the day it rests hidden in tree hollows and secluded spots. Its rough skin in brown, greenish and gray tones provides flawless camouflage resembling tree bark, making it almost invisible in its natural habitat.<\/p>\n\n<p>Thanks to its strong claws and sticky foot pads, it can easily cling to vertical surfaces and branches. Calm and slow-moving by nature yet notable for its large jaw, the New Caledonian Giant Gecko also has a varied diet: in addition to insects, it consumes ripe fruit, nectar and occasionally smaller creatures.<\/p>\n\n<p>At Emaar Aquarium, a special humid habitat equipped with tree branches, tropical plants and hiding places has been prepared for this rare and impressive species. With its size, calm demeanor and unique appearance, the New Caledonian Giant Gecko is one of the species that most captures visitors&#8217; interest.<\/p>\n\n<h3><strong>Frequently Asked Questions About Geckos<\/strong><\/h3>\n\n<p><strong>1. Are geckos poisonous?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>No, geckos are not poisonous and do not show aggression toward humans.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>2. Don&#8217;t they fall off, and how do they climb?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Some species have millions of microscopic hairs on their feet. Thanks to these hairs, they can stick to almost any surface.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>3. Are they active at night?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Most species are generally active at night, meaning they hunt, move and interact with their environment during these hours. During the day, they prefer to hide. However, there are also species that are active during the daytime. A nocturnal gecko usually hides under a leaf or behind a stone during the day and remains motionless.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>4. How many gecko species are there at Emaar Aquarium?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Currently, the Spotted Leopard Gecko, the Ciliated Gecko and the New Caledonian Giant Gecko can be observed. It is possible that new species will be exhibited in the future.<\/p>\n\n<p><strong>5. Can they be kept at home?<\/strong><\/p>\n\n<p>Some species can be kept at home under special conditions, but this requires expertise and careful care.<\/p>\n\n<p>If you would like to get to know reptiles up close and encounter creatures that cannot easily be observed in nature, don&#8217;t forget to visit the reptile species at Emaar Aquarium. The astonishing world of geckos particularly attracts the interest of children, while also offering a fascinating observation opportunity for adults.<\/p>\t\t\t\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t<\/section>\n\t\t\t\t<\/div>\n\t\t","protected":false},"excerpt":{"rendered":"<p>Geckos are small reptiles that live in warm climates and are usually active at night.
