The fat- tailed gecko is enjoying a nice day sitting on a rock.
The fat-tailed gecko's habitat in the wild is Savannah, rocky hillsides, dry open woodlands, and river edges. The fat-tailed gecko's geographic range is Western Africa from Senegal to northern Cameron. The gecko's habitat in the science classroom are those very tiny rocks, sand on the bottom with a turtle shell to hide under.
The gecko's food in the classroom are crickets and mealworms. The gecko's food in the wild are insects, similar to the crickets and mealworms used in the classroom. The animals that eat the geckos are many different animals like the crocodile.
It takes two months for baby gecko eggs to hatch. The life span for the geckos is anywhere from eighteen to or over twenty-two years. The geckos live alone.
Some other interesting things I found out about the gecko are: that it moves very slowly and when it eats the crickets it lets the crickets wander to him and then he snatches them and eats them. When the gecko sheds its skin it doesn't leave it lying around, it eats the dead skin. It has deep black eyes. It has five fingers and toes. It's tail could be curved or in a straight position.
