And no, I’m not calling him Gordon. In fact, I don’t think I’ll call him anything but extremely cute. I don’t want to get too attached since most geckos that find their way into casa az end up as cat food before very long. But this little guy has been around for the past couple of days, which is kind of a record.
I like him. 🙂

Cute! I love geckos. I became enamoured of them when I lived (ever-so-briefly) in Hawaii. I hope the little guy can outwit your kitties.

they have the MOST amazing feet, with fringes of teeny tiny hairs on each toe to enable them to grip flat surfaces. Plus, cute as heck! 🙂
How big is he?

I’m so jealous — we don’t have any geckos here at all. I think he is totally cute. Plus, household non-toxic Raid. Gotta love it.

Could I borrow him to deal with the bluebottle which is currently inhabiting my bedroom?
Hope he manages to stay out of reach of the Snibble Brothers.

Do they like fruit flies? I still have a few left over from the invasion. Hopefully they will be leaving now that the weather is cold.

I wish I could think of another word for cute since that’s already been used four times.

What about gorgeous, nursemyra?! He is GORGEOUS! We don’t have geckos here in chilly Scotland but we do have little lizards (very difficult to spot) and newts (which are GORGEOUS too!)

How about adorable?
I haven’t seen him yet today so I am concerned he may have ended up as a late night kitty tapa for the Snibble Brothers (thanks for that one, Teuchter – cats can never have enough nicknames).
Re: pest control. The little guy is actually smaller than the you-know-whats so he couldn’t help out there. But the other night he was scavenging all along where the bedroom wall joins the ceiling. Good thing Nog hasn’t dusted there for awhile.

I love geckoes. I have two on the glass door next to my computer station at this instant. Huge numbers of insects are drawn to the light and these two have a feast every night.
Yours has different (and
cutermore attractive) markings than mine.LikeLike
Get a leopard gecko, they eat roaches.
It’s amazing how much info that turns up when you google gecko- but not what I really want to know – what size they are.
I know much more about van der Waal’s forces under their feet though, that I did before however…

My friend’s son has a Bearded Dragon named Guy….
I love Guy. He is huge, now! He has golden coloured eyes. So beautiful.
The Bearded Dragons were the type of lizard used n the movie “Holes” but they painted theirs and BDs do not spit poison or have poisoned bites like they did in the movie.

“Geckos range in size from 1/2 inch to about 14 inches (1.5 to 35 cm) long; the largest gecko is the tokay gecko (Gecko gecko)”

Thanks, Anneke!
They’re smaller than I thought, even if I suspected they were not that big. Az’s comment about not eating roaches hinted smallness.

Plenty of little flies over here! Shall I stick them in an envelope and send them to Not-Gordon?
