They really do look like mini-crocodiles:

"The introduction of the species may impact on native fauna, by preying on frogs and smaller lizards. The adoption of this species as a pet has led to populations becoming established in Florida and elsewhere" are you sure it's the correct specie of gecko? I think it's another specie not the tarentola maurianica...
Map: France
editThe map doesn’t include any parts of France, but the French article states that T. mauritanica is present in the South of France. What do you think? palpalpalpal (talk) 09:34, 17 November 2019 (UTC)
Suggested improvements
editThis article needs brushing up, especially in parts which read like a concise identification checklist. I have started this task and will continue next week or later 176.173.217.159 (talk) 15:43, 2 November 2021 (UTC)
- And i think the section describing its distribution is a little misleading. specifically this part: "can be found through most of the Iberian Peninsula (except northwestern Portugal and most of northern Spain)". It extends pretty far into the northwest (although more sparse once you get to the northern coastal Portugal where its distribution is less continous in coastal portugal above Lisbon). Its only really absent from extreme northwestern Portugal, and has been observed as far northwest as e.g Braga, Esposende and Barcelos which are squarely in northwestern portugal.
