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 will later grow another tail.  
Snakes (carnivorous reptiles that survive off of small rodents, amphibian, fish, and eggs. Attack by means of poisonous fangs, constriction, or swallowing their prey whole) 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 it's tail again after time.  


Snakes are carnivores (meat-eaters). They eat rodents and other mammals, birds, reptiles, fish,amphibians, insects, and eggs. Some snakes (like cobras, vipers, and rattlesnakes) are venomous and kill (or paralyze) their prey by injecting poison through hollow fangs. Some snakes (like boas and the anaconda) kill their prey by squeezing it to death. Snakes do not chew their food or even bite it into pieces; snakes swallow their food whole. Other snakes just catch their food and swallow it.

Thai schools generally do not teach Latin at school, so we think it is more appropriate to call them Jingjoke of the Ten family, as this is the tutting noise they make when you talk to them and the name of my family.

They like hanging upside down on ceilings to make you jealous, and to make it easier to talk to them when they come out at night and you are in bed. They like to hold parties around lights at night as they wait for dinner to be served in the form of an insect buffet.
 
They are totally harmless and are good omens when found in houses, generally meaning that wealth will come to the household. We are still hoping to verify this.
 
The House Gecko is a well adapted escape artist, managing to get out of the smallest spaces and taking advantage of any loss of concentration. Being so adapt at escaping, it is next to impossible to handle them, especially as their tails come off easily. [http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Gecko]
