Gecko

The Gecko is a pet a player may have with level 10 Summoning. Baby geckos can be caught with a box trap at Hunter level 27. When a gecko is caught it will give the player 100 Hunter experience. As a baby, it will only eat flies, beetle bits, and leaves. All of these can be bought from pet shops.

Your gecko will grow 1% for every 10% - 15% of hunger. As with all pets, if you do not feed your gecko by the time its hunger percentage reaches 100, it will run away and look for food. You may only have 1 gecko at a time (unless you put your other geckos in your house), and will not be able to catch another until you dismiss your current gecko. Note that there are many adult geckos on Karamja, however only baby geckos can be caught as pets.

Geckos come in 4 different colours: orange, blue, red, and green. However, in order to get a red gecko you must enter Kharazi Jungle, which you cannot do until you have started Legends' Quest.

At level 20 Summoning, geckos may be understood by their owners.

Trivia

• According to the Items Kept on Death interface, a baby gecko is worth 1 coin even though they are untradeable.
• Before the release of alternate colour pets, red gecko head icons were placed in the Hunter Menu.
• Red geckos are the least common gecko due to the requirement of starting Legends' Quest to reach them.
• In the gecko's talking animation it can be seen licking its eye just as some lizards do. This is because most geckos have no eyelids and therefore need to lick their eyes to keep them wet.
• Geckos seem to have similar idle and walking animations to the Cave lizards that dwell the Ourania Caves.
• Formerly, when asking about missing pets at a pet store, with a gecko in your bank, you could gain a second Gecko, in adult form. That chat option is no longer available.
