Most geckos are pretty small. That is an outlier breed for sure

This species is found in northeast India, Bhutan, Nepal, and Bangladesh; throughout Southeast Asia, including Thailand, the Philippines, Malaysia and Indonesia; and toward western New Guinea. It’s also been spotted in parts of Northern Australia. It’s considered the second largest gecko species with the New Caledonian gecko being the largest with sizes as large as 36cm (14 inches)

Edit: I forgot to mention the name of this species. Its a Tokay Gecko.

I'm pretty sure it's a Tokay Gecko. They're mean as hell and will bark at you with an undead demon voice.

The one in the video looks like it could be pushing 14 inch or more if laid straight out from head to end of tail
