Habitat

The great gecko is usually active from March to November, and hibernates in the depths of rock crevices from December to January. It has strong hearing but poor daytime vision, afraid of bright light stimulation, and its pupils often close into a vertical slit. At night, when it comes out to move around and forage for food, its pupils can expand about four times, its vision is enhanced, and its dexterous tongue can stick out of its mouth, occasionally licking off the dust on the surface of its eyes.

It is agile, crawling head off the ground, the back of the body with the limbs interacting with the left and right twisting forward, the soles of the feet of the adsorption ability is very strong, can be in the wall crawling freely.

Originally, it was thought that it had suction cups under its feet, in fact, the toe end of the inflated foot pads are not suction cups, but in the foot pads and scales under the toes are densely covered with rows and rows of bunches of like fluffy microfuzzy hairs, such as a curved hooks, so that it can easily grasp the object, you can crawl on the wall or even glass, microfuzzy glands at the top of the secretion of the adenohypophysis can also enhance the adsorption force.
