Gekkos Everywhere

The most prolific, predatory creature seen on an hourly basis is the Gekko. Averagely about 100mm long, they are everywhere. At school they crawl around the classrooms. At night they can be seen everywhere. And I've just discovered there is one living in my room! I came in this evening to discover it on the ceiling. It then wriggled it's way behind the fixed shelving system. No wonder there is a distinct lack of ants in my room. Everyone talks about trails of ants leading to their bins but I hardly see any, and I always have watermelon and apple cores in there. Turns out I have a resident expert in pest control! A welcome intruder, I'll try and get a picture of it next time I catch it in the open. :)

  1. Sounds like the perfect solution for the ant problem!

  2. Oh, there were so many geckos in Nepal! I'd forgotten! And one night I had some sort of ferret-y things slink under the door of my room, then scurry from one side of the room to the other. That was a little disconcerting...
