Gekkonidae is the largest family of geckos, containing over 950 described species in 51 genera.[1][2][3][4][5][6] Many "typical" geckos are members of Gekkonidae, including house geckos (Hemidactylus), tokay geckos (Gekko gecko), and day geckos (Phelsuma). Gekkonid geckos occur globally and are particularly species-rich in tropical areas.
