Geckos are deadly venomous animals !!
So, the Fact Crescendo team decided to do a fact check on the claim that ‘wall geckos are deadly venomous!’ [...] The shared posts mentioned that geckos are deadly poisonous and one can kill a man with less effort. But if it is that much toxic, how their predators prey on them? Typically geckos are prey for some animals. Sometimes more giant gecko species eat much smaller gecko species. Besides, birds, snakes, giant spiders, and sometimes cats and dogs eat geckos. But they neither die nor get any complications with it. Some animals inherited the poisonous skins as a protection tactic from their predators. But it is confirmed that geckos do not have that characteristic, so they were captured by their predators easily. What they have for their survival is their colouration and patterns, which match their habitat. [...] The posts which were shared mentioning that the geckos are deadly venomous or poisonous even than snakes are incorrect. They are just innocent, harmless animals. There can be some harm, but it does not occur because of venom or poison. But food contaminated with their faeces is dangerous and can pervade human salmonellosis.
