Gekko scientiadventura

Gekko scientiadventura (Gekko scientiadventura) is a gecko recorded for Vietnam in the project inventory. The supporting occurrence note is “Expert range list”. Retaining the exact scientific name is especially important because Vietnam has exceptional gecko diversity, many species are known from very small areas, and taxonomic revisions continue to separate close-looking populations. The account therefore distinguishes confirmed identity and occurrence from broader natural-history context (project species data; Reptile Database taxonomy).

Gekko species are nocturnal climbing lizards with expanded adhesive toe pads. They hunt insects and other small prey on trees, cliffs, cave entrances or buildings, then shelter in crevices by day. Females commonly attach hard-shelled eggs to protected surfaces. Closely related forms require scale counts, pattern, call and locality for identification. These are genus-level traits, not a precise species-specific Vietnamese breeding account (general Gekko ecology; Reptile Database).
