Gecko handcrafted in New Zealand from recycled copper.
We have two types of lizards in New Zealand - skinks and geckos. They belong to the class of animals known as reptiles (Reptilia) along with tuataras, snakes, turtles and tortoises.
Geckos are generally restricted to warmer areas of the world while skinks are spread throughout tropical and temperate regions. Geckos are small, with a soft loose skin which is dull and granular in appearance. The pupil of the eye appears as a vertical slit in bright light, but in darkness it becomes large and round. Rough plates or lamellae on the underside of the fingers and toes enable the animal to climb smooth surfaces, even glass.
Generally reptiles are silent, however most New Zealand geckos and some skinks have a chirping or chattering communication and some croak and squeal.
