Mr. Huy said that since he bought this house more than 10 years ago, he has seen this animal living here. When he first bought it, there were only a few, but in recent years the number has increased rapidly. Currently, in his house, there are more than 30 animals, big and small.
 |
| Mr. Huy's house has a ceiling covered with wood and plastic, which is an ideal environment for geckos to live. |
In the mountainous district of Tuong Duong, many families have geckos living together, however, the largest family has only 3 to 4 geckos. And they rarely come into contact with humans. Many people have bought geckos to raise, but after a short time they leave. Therefore, the family of Nguyen Dinh Huy is a special case.
Not only are there many geckos in Huy's house, they are also very tame. On summer days, especially on rainy days, many creatures that are food for these animals fly around the house. Geckos from the roof come down in flocks to the floor to catch mosquitoes and termites.
 |
| Because it's the cold season, geckos rarely come down, so Mr. Huy had no choice but to use incense sticks to lure geckos down for guests to see. |
Mr. Huy added that everyone in the family sometimes catches mosquitoes and termites to feed the gecko like they take care of their family's dogs and chickens.
 |
| Most geckos usually travel in pairs. |
 |
| Currently, in Huy's family's house, geckos are everywhere and very tame. Even though Huy shines a light and uses things to chase them away, they do not run away. |

Mr. Huy boasted: “There are many of these in my house, so there are very few mosquitoes. I often sleep without using a mosquito net. If you add up the chirps of one mosquito and get an odd number, it means it’s sunny, and an even number means it’s raining. By looking at its skin color, I can also tell if the weather will be sunny or rainy tomorrow.”
