Gekko smithii, commonly known as Smith's green-eyed gecko or the large forest gecko, is a species of gecko in the family Gekkonidae. It is found in mainland Southeast Asia and Indonesia.

Description

G. smithii is one of the biggest geckos, reaching a total length (including tail) of {{convert|35|cm|in|abbr=on}}.

Etymology

The specific name, smithii, is in honor of Scottish zoologist Andrew Smith (1797–1872), who was the founder of the South African Museum.[2]

Similar species

Species of similar appearance include Gekko taylori and Gekko gecko, as well as Gekko verreauxii (from the Andaman and Nicobar Islands) and Gekko siamensis (from central Thailand).

Geographic range

G. smithii is found in southern Thailand (Satun, Narathiwatk Pattani), Singapore, western Malaysia (Pulau Pinang, Perak, Pahang, Selangor, Pulau Tioman), Myanmar (Burma), India (Nicobar Islands), and Indonesia (Borneo, Sumatra, Pulau Nias, Java).[3]

The type locality is "Prince of Wales' Island" (= Pulau Pinang, West Malaysia).[4]

Diet

G. smithii preys on insects, especially grasshoppers.[5]

Reproduction

The sexually mature female G. smithii lays a clutch of two eggs. The eggs are almost spherical, the average egg measuring 20 x 19 mm (0.79 x 0.75 in).[5]
