That's badass. Leaping back-flip chomp, sticks the landing - ON GLASS. Even makes the kill clean. That's one awesome reptile. What is it? Gecko?

[–]Kelnaz 5 points6 points ago

It is indeed a gecko. I'm not 100% certain of the species because of the quality of the gif, but it looks like it may be a species of House Gecko to me. Although it could be any Gecko from the family Gekkonidae.

http://en.wikipedia.org/wiki/Hemidactylus

[–]balkep 0 points1 point ago

Yeah, a House Gecko most likely. Seen them almost every night in Singapore, some were even roaming around my room looking for insects. And they have lightning-fast reflexes and all kinds of ninja tricks.

[–]EltaninAntenna 1 point2 points ago

When I was a kid, lots of those used to visit our courtyard. Unfortunately, house geckos are no match for courtyard cats. :-/

[–]gh0stdylan 1 point2 points ago

Looks like a Tokay, but can't see if it has the correct markings in the .gif

[–]Le_Karma_Whore 0 points1 point ago

Yeah gecko I'm pretty sure. He's being trained to be an assassin to take out the rival army

[–]MaybeDeadCat2213 0 points1 point ago

Almost 100 percent sure it's a crested gecko. I have two. They're very acrobatic.

[–]IceViper777 0 points1 point ago

looks like a crested gecko to me as well. I have one as well. Awesome animals!

[–]CorpWarrior24 0 points1 point ago

What is it? Gecko?

Not to be confused with Geico...

[–]FOR_SClENCE 38 points39 points ago

Please tell me you named this badass motherfucker Gex.

[–]Amm0 12 points13 points ago

In middle school, Gex: Enter the Gecko and its sequel were my favorite games for the N64. I loved the game so much that I convinced my parents to buy me a Gecko for Christmas.

Long story short, I got lazy and was irresponsible. I eventually ended up not feeding him and he slowly died a horrible death. It's been years later I still feel bad for what I did. Sorry Gex, I hope one day you can forgive me. :(

[–]rsplatpc 3 points4 points ago

Your parents could have fed him or were they teaching you a scarring life lesson?

[–]Amm0 1 point2 points ago

They definitely tried to help, and I actually tried to start feeding him again, but eventually he just gave up on life and stopped eating and died.

[–]Roaning 0 points1 point ago

This is fucking depressing. -.-

"who opened the can of whoopass?!"

[–]snusamera 15 points16 points ago

That is probobly the best gif i have seen in months.

[–]omicron8 1 point2 points ago

Most probobly.

[–]snusamera 0 points1 point ago

I've let myself down again. :( Probably.

[–]shake42 14 points15 points ago

Does the gecko realize the glass is a wall? or did he just jump thinking it would be air? Do animals in a terrarium know the boundaries of glass?

[–]IN_STYLE 9 points10 points ago

Yes they do. Only birds have problem with windows. They simply can't identify it fast enough in flight.

[–]Spookaboo 4 points5 points ago

They also often have polarized vision and that filters out the glare on the glass.

[–]jillyboooty 1 point2 points ago

It also means they have issues watching 3d movies. Poor birds.

[–]ReadySetJoe 0 points1 point ago

Wish they would cut the 3D shit and make some sort of anti-glare sunglasses.

[–]surviro 1 point2 points ago

For whatever reason this awareness only extends to some species, geckos being one of them, I know from experience that snakes And many lizards suffer from raw and extremely chaffed skin on their noses because They can't fully grasp the concept of being "boxed in". Though many of the animals will eventually stop rubbing their noses against the glass, I've had far some spirited individuals who had to be moved into units with opaque sides.

I have some frogs which much like this gecko use the glass as an extension of their habitat and a way to gain an advantage on less-aware prey-items.

All that said, this gif is pretty damn cool. More quirky reptile gifs please!

[–]Purpleeni 6 points7 points ago

This is a Golden Gecko.

We used to have one that would jump to the walls of his terrarium fairly routinely. That gecko was a little creepy sometimes. My sister used to breed mice for her snakes, and now and then, we would get a newborn to feed to the geckos (also have 2 leopard geckos). Our golden gecko would grab one of the babies, perch on a wall, and smack it against the plastic wall while he ate it. :<

He ended up being too tempting for one of our cats, who knocked the terrarium off the bookshelf. Gecko got squished badly by his little log house, but survived. One of his eyes was very badly clouded with blood, and for a little while his jaw was misaligned. It took him a long while to eat again, but he never regained vision in his one eye.

6 days ago I got downvoted for saying that this video would've gotten more upvotes if shortened. Looks like I was right.

[–]happycrabeatsthefish 0 points1 point ago

I wish I could change the gravity in the room I was in, if only to eat something out of reach.

Somebody please slow this down. I'm fascinated.

Great gif, but I don't see how this is funny.

Because he said "like a boss", which is totally hilarious and not exhaustingly overused at all.
