We were sitting out earlier this evening and one of us, who shall remain nameless, (my husband) left their glass outside. I went to get it later and noticed that the glass wasn't empty.
A baby gecko, about 2 inches long.

(149,719 posts)You have really captured him.
Maybe all he wanted was a drink?
Well done!

He scampered away with a quickness. Once he got over his abrupt change of circumstances. (me picking the glass up and grabbing a camera)

(90,787 posts)I think they're adorable when they're young. Just so tiny.

(34,125 posts)so I don't know what kind of gecko this is. Some do get big and they bite hard! I love the little ones, like the geckos you see in Hawaii and probably a lot of places I have never been. That is what this little one reminded me of.
I have a pretty good sized sun room and have thought about getting some to live in the plants. I could release crickets for them and they would help keep the bugs down. It would be a huge space for them. Still thinking about it and wondering if it would be good for them, I would love it but I would need to know more about them So cute though when little.

(90,787 posts)Louisiana. We have geckos crawling all over the house at night. We have a few anoles during the day.
They'll need a water source and places to hide during the day. The geckos here live inside my house (the structure) during the day. During the winter they pretty much go into hiding. I don't really know for indoors living though.
Between the anoles, geckos and toads (and snakes) we get a lot of help with the bugs here.
He's a Mediterranean House Gecko. They only get 4-6 inches long. Well, that's how big they get here.

(34,125 posts)Thanks! Anoles are also really great. I appreciate the info. I will have to see what they need hibernation and room wise. It would be a perfect room for them, it is large with lots of windows for them to catch the sun, humid and has a bunch of rather large plants in it. They would be really helpful and hey, I feed so many animals now what would a few crickets added in the mix matter? They would be warm and safe

And also smiling because I don't have to deal with geckos in my glass! Although here we have those pesky bees! On second thought, maybe geckos would be better!

(90,787 posts)He did for a few moments. I think he was in shock. Once he was over the novelty of it all - he leaped and ran. lol

I find them swimming around in the water bowl I leave for the neighborhood cats. The cat bowl doesn't make for nearly as interesting a shot as the crystal glass. Great contrast there!

(90,787 posts)I'm just glad he stayed as long as he did.
I would love to catch them swimming around! I see the anoles drinking at the bird bath from time to time.
