The Tokay Gecko (Gekko gecko), is a nocturnal arboreal gecko native to southeast Asia and the Indo-Australian Archipelago. They are abundant, ranging from northeast India and Bangladesh, throughout Southeast Asia, to Indonesia and western New Guinea. The finder of this unusual lizard was professor Syed Azhar Hassan. He discovered this in Bangladesh after hearing its unusual sound. He did not have the proper equipment to further examine the creature, so he sent it to a lab in Germany to be further examined. They found it to be a new species and it was named after him, Gekko Gecko Azhari. Later, the name became more realized as Tokay Gecko, because of the "tokay, tokay" noise it emits. Their native habitat is rainforest trees and cliffs, and they also frequently adapt to human habitations, roaming walls and ceilings at night in search of insect prey.
Tokays are the second largest gecko species, attaining lengths of about 30-40cm (11-15 inches) for males or 20-30cm (7-11 inches) for females and weights of 150-300g (5-10 oz). They are distinctive in appearance, with a bluish or grayish body sporting orange or red spots
