Indo-Pacific gecko
''Hemidactylus garnotii'', commonly known as the Indo-Pacific gecko, Garnot's house gecko or the fox gecko, is a species of gecko found in India, the Philippines, Southeast Asia, Australia, and throughout Polynesia. Adults are about in total length (including tail). They are seen as dark gray or brown with light markings in daylight and a pale, translucent colour at night. The belly is orange or yellow. The head has a long, narrow snout, hence the name fox gecko. The flattened tail has a row of spiny scales on the lateral edges. The species is parthenogenic – all individuals are female and lay eggs that hatch without requiring male fertilisation.〔(Pascatore, Linda. 2008. "Birds and Plants of Kauai: The Gecko" ). accessed 6 February 2011〕
In Hawaii, the species is thought to be a long-term resident. Formerly considered a house gecko, it has been displaced to natural habitats by the more recently arrived common house gecko.〔 In Florida and Georgia it has become established as an invasive species of concern.〔(Everglades CISMA Cooperative Invasive Species Management Area website, "Indo-Pacific Gecko" page ), accessed 6 February 2011〕〔(Georgia Invasive Species Task Force website, "Other Invasive Species of Concern in Georgia" ), accessed 6 February 2011〕
==Etymology==
The specific name, ''garnotii'', is in honor of French naturalist Prosper Garnot.〔Beolens B, Watkins M, Grayson M. 2011. ''The Eponym Dictionary of Reptiles''. Baltimore: Johns Hopkins University Press. xiii + 296 pp. ISBN 978-1-4214-0135-5. (''Hemidactylus garnotii'', p. 98).〕
