Typically, a long slender body with a medium - long tail. The tails are prehensile, meaning their tails act as a 5th limb. or in other cases, the tails are used for storing fats. Most gecko species are equipped with 5 nails allowing them to scale rocky surfaces and or trees. In other cases, they have the ability to scale a vertical surface with sticky pads on their feet, known as lamalee. Most range from 6-12 inches in length (with tail) and weigh from 5Grams - 700Grams depending on species. Most geckos have a strong jaw for crunching down in the exo skeleton of insects. Most geckos are very bright in color and they are the only reptile specie able to vocalize for multiple purposes: Mating, threats, socializing etc..
