    Mourning Geckos (Lepidodactylus lugubris) are relatively small stout geckos (3-4 inches) found in hawaii and ranging from Sri Lanka eastward through tropical Asia, and across the Pacific to Mexico and Central America. They are an all female species being parthenogenic (females lay genetic copies of themselves without males) and are very prolific. These geckos do very well in small colonies (5-7) and will show interesting behaviors like tail flicking, chirping, and false coopulation. Starting with just one gecko you can soon have an entire colony in just a few months. Here is my mourning gecko who lays eggs like a little machine, if your interested in getting one check out my available page. Enjoy!
