monito geckos are endangered for two reason.... 1. it is being eaten by the black rat.... and 2. just after world war 2, the us airforce used the island of monito ( the monito geckos only habitat) as a bombing site. because the island is so small, this affected the island a lot and now there are believed to be less than 250 left in the wild, the monito gecko is critically endangered.
The monito del monte can grow to about 13 cm length (not including the tail), and the tail can grow up to 13.2 cm. In inches both are about 5 in.
we can protect them by not destroying their habitats and protecting their area.stop them being trade and by breeding programs.
