      Yeah seriously. You have *one* gecko? Call me back when you have 3 basilisks and 6 iguanas in your yard, a dozen geckos on your outside walls, 2 knight anoles fighting on your palm trees, and 40 curlytail lizards in your driveway (not to mention the 3 or 4 that ran under your bed and you just hope to never see again).

    A gecko, maybe a day gecko. A cousin of the geicko lizard, which is based on the madagascar giant day gecko. Geckos stick to surfaces on a molecular level, and eat bugs, nectar, fruit and honey. From the looks of the head and tail, id guess a juvenile. Probably from a tank of a breeding pair and the owner didnt know the egg was there, it hatched and escaped.

      Good point. It might just be trying to sell insurance.

      What kind of accent does it have, Gabrielle?

    It’s a gecko. Put it outside. It will eat the bugs around the lights.

      No! Those things are not made for the Northeastern climate. It’ll be dead in a day. Call animal control.

      Geckos are super chill. They eat mosquitoes, moths, and other flying bugs, so what’s not to love about that?

    Things I have in my office: geckos. Things I don’t have in my office: cockroaches, ants, flies, or mosquitoes.

      You must have a few of those other things. Otherwise, what’s the gecko eating?

    When I was a kid, I went on a work trip with my mom. One night, she freaked out because there was a baby lizard in her hotel room. I loved lizards as a kid, so I happily removed the little guy, and took him outside.

    Once we were a few yards from the hotel, I found his mom! At least I assumed it was his mom, it was another lizard that looked similar, only larger. I set the baby down by his parent. The baby lizard looked at me, the big lizard looked at the baby lizard. After a second-long beat, the mom walked right up and ate the baby.

    Lizards are weird man. Just don’t put him by any other lizards.

      Dont assume mamalian connections between reptiles and birds. My mom did that with a baby standings day gecko she found in my breeding pairs tank while i was at school and put it into a tank with another juvenile because she thought they would be friends. I came home to a half eaten dead baby lizard, and i had to tell my mom that beyond watering to never interfer again. Still makes me sad.

    Obviously we need a Gawker poll to name the thing.

      You call that “gargantuan”? Meh, we had a 9" one in our tent when camping out in Waipio Valley one time.

      It went into our campfire. Pronto. Those are evil fother-muckers.

    He’s harmless. Probably came up through your pipes.

    If he weirds you out too much, go outside and let him free.
