🦎Common house gecko
De tjitjak (Hemidactylus frenatus) is een hagedis die behoort tot de gekko's (Gekkota) en de familie Gekkonidae. De gekko heeft een zeer groot verspreidingsgebied en komt in verschillende werelddelen voor. Het is van oorsprong een bosbewoner maar de tjitjak schuwt de mens niet en komt veel voor bij huizen. De tjitjak dankt zijn naam aan de geluiden die worden gemaakt om de andere sekse te lokken.
