noun

1. lizard; any lizard smaller than a monitor lizard, particularly the common house gecko (Hemidactylus frenatus)

The darling creature, which we have owned for less than a year, loves to hunt, and I don't mean just popping a cicak into her darling mouth every now and then, but tree lizards of reasonable size, grass snakes, rats, bats, and birds.
