Ecology of house lizards in the biblical palace of King Solomon

The Bible refers to house lizards that could not be exterminated, not even from king’s palaces (Solomon’s Proverbs 30:28). It probably refers to Hemidactylus turcicus, carrier of the deadly Salmonella enterica, of pandemic infamy. Considering the size of Solomon’s palace, it could have kept a population of 50 lizards which reproduced from March to August.
