Gecko lizards are not known for their speed and agility; they are generally slow-moving creatures. In fact, most geckos move very slowly and are not really capable of running. However, some species of geckos can move fairly quickly when they need to, such as when they are being chased by a predator or when they are trying to catch prey. The maximum speed of a gecko lizard is usually around 8 to 10 miles per hour, which is fast enough to escape from some predators but not as fast as some of the more agile animals in the wild.
