Geckofabulous

I met a baby gecko in my room today, about an inch long. Haven't seen one since I lived in the city a few years ago, my place had a massive extended family of them. They made a lovely chirpy trilling noise. You'd find a baby indoors and usher it carefully outside where there were mozzies for it to sup on. The geckos liked to sit on the windows, especially at night when the indoor light attracted insects to the glass. I'd watch as they caught and gulped moths whole, you could see their tummies bulging. Hope this wee one sticks around, it's friendly to have a little gecko flitting up the walls.

    Don't get too many geckos down here in Melvegas. Such a soothing sound they make.
