Lizards are probably the most easily spotted of all reptiles. There are over 3500 different types of lizards, existing in all climates throughout the world. In many countries, the wall lizard or gecko is a welcome house guest, chasing and eating many irksome insects. They walk the walls and ceilings and live their lives unharmed by peacefully understanding their niche. The wall lizard found in most homes in India is not poisonous at all. They do not have any venomous apparatus and just helps in checking insect population.
