lucifer666 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Yep, as above, Chink Chok - Jing Jok. they keep the mozzies down a treat but they do like to shit a lot. Usually over your fresh laundry. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...
sirocco Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 These are the Tarentes. He are many in the South of France and North Africa. I still have them seen them grabbed mosquitoes or insects that flew around lights. They are inofensifs. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

AhFarangJa Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 In Thai a Jing Jok, I call them chit chat, after time spent in Brunei. The Missus is scared sh*****s of them, which is weird when she thinks nothing of picking up a cockroach the size of something from Men In Black! 1 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Hristo Torbov Posted March 22, 2014 Author Share Posted March 22, 2014 Thanks for the replies! Here's what I've learned for now: it really somehow managed to travel with me all the way from Thailand to Bulgaria, since in my country we don't have geckos. It's possible to be house gecko, since it's ~1.5cm long. I put it in terrarium, this morning it drinked little bit water. I'll take some live food (crickets, flies or white worms) from the fishing store, because it doesn't want to eat dead flies. I think to name it Kea, which in Thai means "guest" (or something like that) :-) 2 Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Be a good little pet and when you come back you can try and bring him back with you! He's gonna get lonely though so you may have to give him a hand.....

davidstipek Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 50 years ago we had in Seattle. Grandparents had huge Ivy rockery in front of house that was transgressed with long diagonal stairway as you went left to right up from street to house (75-110 feet) because it rained alot and Ivy stayed wet or moist was loaded with mossies. also Geckoes! They left us alone and were very well fed. Did not seem to be afraid of us either as I had 3 in my room. They don't like beer... Seagrams spilled on porch they did approach... Then all of a sudden they seemed to disappear... Last trip to Seattle I took Wife to show her and (Was May/June) none to be seen anywhere. Even new home owner hasn't seen in past 35 years...

Maybe you can buy some other lizard for a companion. Get some mixed breeding going on - kinda like here. Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

Never seen a jing jok that didn't wolf em down. Good Luck keeping it alive. At our home in Ranong gecko's like the odd cooked rice kernel laying about and the odd bread crumb...dipped in curry even better. We have one...nicknamed Flatso because when ever it see's us it flattens itself out a fair bit...who eats grains of cooked rice from our fingers and then tries to hide behind the coffee maker. We've watched it from a hatchling and now it's about 5 inches long. He...or she's OK in our books. But that's not the same for the 5000 other relatives he/she has running amok in our place. BTW....the little white spots on gecko poop is gecko urine.....just FYI that. And...if they vocalise 7 times in a row...it's good luck! Best of luck with your new pet!

Travelman868 Posted March 22, 2014 Share Posted March 22, 2014 Leave him alone, their species have been able to feed themselves for millions of years without help from the white man He's called a Jing Juk Totally agree, they grow big enough as it is. You feed it and it get to 3foot long not funny Link to comment Share on other sites More sharing options...

dighambara Posted March 23, 2014 Share Posted March 23, 2014 Leave him alone, their species have been able to feed themselves for millions of years without help from the white man He's called a Jing Juk Gecko, or Ching Choke - very clearly a 'CH' sound in NE Issan.
