My New Friend

[Justin Carl]

Found this guy running around the kitchen.
He was up by the roof.
You should have seen me ontop of my counter tops trying to grab him.

looks like a golden gecko to me

 

[Justin Carl]

I'm not sure what he is.
I live in Central Florida if that helps any.
Once you were holding him he was really nice, and didnt mind the pictures.
I have no reason to keep a nocturnal pet, so I let him go to eat the bugs around the house.

Awesome! Now you are going to be in geckos eh? , can't stop getting any lizards . Too bad you didn't know what it was otherwise you could have kept it . Lol

Looks like my little House Gecko that I found here in the house in January! He was in bad shape and all dried up when I found him! Being fed well he has grown quite a bit. Here he is from January-I will see if I can get a picture of him now!

 

[Justin Carl]

Looks like the guy I caught.
Lets see you updated pictures Juli.

 

[Julirs]

Here he is-little guy is lightning fast! Could not get any real close pics!

I was always thought it would be nice to have some free range geckos in a chameleon room to clean up the escaped feeders.
Not until I have a situation where the cats don't have access to the room though.

That's a great idea Brad! I have a cat free lizard house and tons of those house geckos all over outside. I'm going to do a little catch and release program.

Howdy,

It was finding (on my neighbor's living room carpet) and raising a young Mediterranean House Gecko that eventually led to me keeping chameleons. That's one phone call from my neighbor that my wife wished I hadn't answered .

The gecko was always extremely skittish while many of her offspring could be hand-fed.

She laid 2 eggs about every 40-50 days. I hatched 5 pairs before I released her back into the "wild".

Dave, how long was the incubation for that? Interesting how one animal can lead to another

 

[Cainschams]

Great pics everyone. Dave those are REALLY cool. No geckos in Maryland but we have some cool salamanders and skinks I would say they are.

Haha, Dave!
I still remember how my girl friend ask your wife whether she is into chameleons as well and she gave her a big NO face.

Howdy,

Sorry for the delay. I just saw your question . Most of them took about 70-80 days to hatch.

 

[Chase]

How long was the female alive? And how was she able to keep producing the eggs? Was she in with a male?

In AZ we have these gecko's. I'm not at home so i can't view my pictures to post.

Western MEDITERRANEAN Gecko

and Western Banded GEckos

These lizards are everywhere. and i mean everywhere. But they only come out in the summer months at night.
