[1] [2] [3] It includes all species of Bermuda, Canada, Greenland, Saint Pierre and Miquelon, and the United States including recently introduced species such as chameleons, the Nile monitor, and the Burmese python.
It is made up of 27 species grouped into five genera. They have more primitive characteristics than other geckos. In particular, the feet lack the modifications that allow most geckos to scale steep surfaces. Unlike other geckos, they also have mobile eyelids. They are nocturnal lizards that feed mainly on insects. 6 species occur in Mexico.
