Gekkonidae is the largest family of geckos, containing over 950 described species in 51 genera. Many "typical" geckos are members of Gekkonidae, including house geckos (Hemidactylus), tokay geckos (Gekko gecko), and day geckos (Phelsuma). Gekkonid geckos occur globally and are particularly species-rich in tropical areas.
