Lined gecko

Description

The lined gecko (Gekko vittatus), also known as the Skunk Gecko due to his notable stripe down its back, is a species of gecko. It can be found in Indonesia, New Guinea, Palau, and the Solomon Islands. White Lined Geckos usually live between 3-5 years in the wild, however in captivity with proper care their lifespans drastically increase, including those wild caught. In captivity, they can live twice their wild lifespan at the minimum, with some individuals living 15-20 years with proper care. Gekko is a genus of Southeast Asian geckos, commonly known as true geckos or calling geckos, in the family Gekkonidae. Although species such as Gekko gecko (tokay gecko) are very widespread and common, some species in the same genus have a very small range and are considered rare or endangered.
