Keep Herp Calendar free
Hi, I'm Nick. I built Herp Calendar on my own and I keep it free, with no ads. If it has helped you find a herp this season, a small tip goes straight into the hosting and the data work. Only if you can spare it. Either way, I'm glad you're here.

Asian House Gecko
Hemidactylus frenatus
Description
The Common house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus) is a gecko native to South and Southeast Asia and Near Oceania. Hemidactylus frenatus measures about 75-150 mm in length, with a tendency for males to be larger than females.Wikipedia ↗Animal Diversity Web ↗
Habitat
H. frenatus now occurs throughout the lowlands of Mexico on both the Atlantic and Pacific versants including the Yucatan Peninsula, and Baja California, with records from 21 of the 32 Mexican states. Most records of H. frenatus in Mexico are from buildings such as homes, hotels, and other structure in cities and towns, with only a few reports of the species in natural habitat, and its impact, if any, on native fauna there is unknown.Wikipedia ↗
When it's active
Females lay a maximum of two hard-shelled eggs at any single time, with each descending from a single oviduct. In laboratories, one mating event may produce as many as seven viable egg clutches.Wikipedia ↗
