The forest gecko is a species of gecko this gecko was tough leathery scaly skin and sharp
claws Forest geckos can be grey, brown or greeny-brown and  have  markings that give them
good camouflage in the forest.  There toes are long and slender like  Forest geckos are
probably found in most older forest Forest geckos spend most of their life in trees, and
because of this they are not seen often. But even though you may never see forest geckos
in your garden, there’s plenty to do to help protect them.

HOW DO GECKOS PROTECT THEMSELVES?

losing Their Tails

Probably the best known defense mechanism of geckos is tail loss. This is just
what it sounds like: when a gecko is grabbed by the tail, the tail will detach and
keep moving on its own. This distracts the predator long enough to allow the gecko
to run away. Losing the tail does not cause the gecko any injury -- just some very
minimal blood loss. The tail then regenerates itself, so it can be used as a means of
defense   

Camouflage

Some but not all geckos can change colors at will to mimic the environment.
This allows them to protect themselves by blending in with their surroundings
and becoming almost invisible to predators.
