Different lizards. I’ve lived in Hawaii with resident geckos.
Ditto Puerto Rico. I used to hear birds singing at nite. Found out they were geckos.
I love geckos. When DH and I lived there, we put dishes of honey out for them.
Interestingly we don't have an issue with mosquitoes.
SweetiePalm doesn't like geckos or bugs of any kind. She absolutely despises Palmetto bugs.
The cats go crazy if a gecko or Palmetto bug gets in the house. The cats think they're the ultimate cat toy. Better than the red dot.

I believe I have at least 4 species in my yard including geckos. We even had a visiting 6ft iguana once. At first I thought it a nuisance gator, but alas it was an iguana cuz gators don't climb trees (thank goodness). Unfortunately he had to be put down. I understand they're quite delicious critters.
