Snakes are geckos' main predators. When a gecko is caught by its tail, it releases the tail, which twitches for a while, allowing the gecko to escape capture. The gecko can regenerate its tail again after time. | Snakes are geckos' main predators.

Domestic pets, especially cats, like to catch and eat geckos occasionally. Dogs will sometimes use their sense of smell to find lizards who live in holes in the ground, and will also catch a gecko that spends too much time on the floor. Geckos will slowly stalk moths and mosquitoes that have landed on a wall or ceiling, then quickly catch them with their mouths for a quick snack. | |||
