Something cool thread

Rescued a little house gecko out of the dog's water bowl this morning.  So glad he made it through the night.  You could see he was exhausted.  Plans being formulated to make sure it doesn't happen again.  They are cucaracha grubbing machines.  Good luck to have them in your house.

Have had GEICO for years already.  He knew he was welcome at my casa.

 

Where is this at? Those things love air conditioning BTW, at least they do whenever it's really hot outside.

 

We usually have about 5-10 geckos hiding in the shade on one of our windows at our house in the Philippines.

These are actually Mediterranean house geckos and came over to the desert southwest (southern NM here) in people belongings.  They thrive here because the climate is pretty similar.  This one was outside but I've seen them inside the house too.  They live in walls and eat whatever unlucky bug who tries to take shelter in there.  Don't compete with anything native so it's win win.

Do they make loud gecko noises?

 

The ones in the Philippines get pretty big. Like forearm size. They sit up in high places on our terrace and do that 2 syllable noise like they are talking. Sounds like they are saying gecko actually.

 

The little green lizards get in the house sometimes and chase each other all over the walls. Harmless, unlike the occasional huge snake found crossing the roads.

No, no noise at all.  They don't get much bigger than that one.  Plumper, that one was skinny. 

 

Forearm sized is very big.  Didn't know they got that big.  Interesting.

 

The green anoles are cool.  Used to watch them at my grandparents house in FL.  Far as I know they are all named Harry.  See if anyone gets that reference.  

 

We have no shortage of other desert type lizards.  Whiptails and blue racers are common.
