I am pretty sure the New Caledonian Giant Gecko (rhacodactylus leachianus) is the biggest.

Maybe he was talking about Gekko smithii
@fimbriatus: rhacodactylus is rhacodactylus, not gekko

The terms "largest" or "biggest" could refer to length or weight. Smithii is the longest? Or heaviest? Or both?

the g. smithiis from malaysia are the longest geckos of that genus (gekko)!
gekko gigante sound huge but he isn't. he's even smaller than gekko monarchus. if somebody have found a new "gekko" that is bigger and longer than smithiis and tokays - please let me know!
