Common house geckos are known for their distinctive chirping sounds, which they use to communicate with each other, especially during mating season.

Common house geckos have specialized toe pads that allow them to climb smooth surfaces, including walls and ceilings.

Common house geckos are oviparous, meaning they lay eggs rather than giving live birth.

A female house gecko can lay one or two eggs at a time, often hiding them in crevices or behind objects for protection.

Common house geckos are insectivores, feeding on a diet of insects, including crickets, flies, and moths.

If threatened, these geckos can drop their tail as a defense mechanism, which can distract predators and allow them to escape.
