Oriental leaf-toed gecko

It is a familiar creature. And this is a type of lizard that we often see around us or inside our rooms. It's especially cool to watch and the way this creature moves down the wall is really weird. This reptile is a common animal here. Especially at night, these animals are most often seen roaming around electric bulbs and they feed on various insects. It looks like a crocodile but is smaller in size and looks amazing. Especially since their toes have a kind of sticky substance, it can easily move up and down any part of the wall very nicely, due to which it does not fall down easily.

Its name is Oriental leaf-toed gecko. It is a species of lizard. Although I know it as a lizard, I googled it to find out what species it is and found this name. This is because the lizards we usually see inside our homes are very different in color from this one. So it seemed unusual to me and I googled it to find out. Anyway today I was walking on the balcony to my office at noon and it was sitting on the door. Two lizards of such species were side by side, one of slightly larger size and one of smaller size. But after I took two pictures, they disappeared.
