Not all but most gecko species are nocturnal. As a gecko becomes more comfortable in its terrarium/habitat it may tend to move around more during the days. Species of day gecko make great display animals as they are active during the day but tend to be a tad shy and scittish
geckos live lot of places mostly in Asia and Madagascar. geckos are in many more places they get on boats and they eggs are sticky and get stuck on branches and land on many places.
Most geckos are nocturnal. So, during the day, most tend to darken their color. Some geckos, like the Crested Gecko, has a brighter more beautiful color at night.
geckos are more rare than cows.

you seem to have an infestation of geckos!
They require almost the exact same care, but I like my panther geckos more because they are a bit smaller, cleaner, and never bite
Normal types wouldn't be. but leopard geckos come in different morphs, or colors. Nicer and rarer colors will cost much more. A normal looking gecko can cost $25, while a rarer coloration could cost $3000.
No. In fact, you may notice that the older they get, more white will come in every time they moult.
Nope - if they need to 'clean' their eyeballs - they use their tongue to lick the surface. Crested geckos have a clear membrane covering the eye, this membrane is a clear, transparent eye contact more or less. it stops dirt, oxygen, water, substrates etc.. from entering the eye. when something external touches the membrane, they will lick their eye in order to remove anything. The Crested geckos come from the Diplodactylinae subfamily under the Genera Rhacodactylus. Geckos of the Eublepharinae Subfamily are known as "eye lid" geckos all have eye lids. These consist of the: Leopard gecko (E. macularius), the fat tailed gecko (E. Hemitheconyx) etc.. When sleeping, resting, swallowing, and of course blink, their eyelids will close.
yes they are Added: No they are not , Not all. Some species are becoming really rare to find , Some are extincted but many geckos that are kept in captivity are extremely common. Leopard geckos , Crested geckos , Common house gecko , Fat tailed geckos and more are easy to breed geckos that are now almost everywhere in the pet shops.
It depends what type of geckos you have. You can most likely tell by going on a website that specializes the gecko you want to learn more about. They most likely will tell you which rainforest a gecko lives in. But if you want to learn which rainforest geckos live in, the answer is that all geckos do not live in rainforests. Some live in deserts.
Geckos do not enjoy "cold" weather, they come from warm - hot climates across the globe. Geckos that come from New Zealand and New Caledonia can withstand temperatures as low as 17 degrees Celsius.
