Default Where have all the "Geckos" gone?

I call the little lizards around here "Geckos"...just my pet name for em since I don't know what they're really called...but anyhow, WHERE HAVE THEY GONE? About 3 weeks ago I began to notice that I wasn't seeing any around our house. Our cat use to like setting on the lanai and watch them scamper around the bushes and across the front porch railing. I have not seen ONE in weeks and I'm really looking now. Oh yes, I did see a dead one in the mouth of a big black bird that landed in our back yard. I don't recall this happening before and this is going into our 3rd year here.

Just wondering...has anyone else noticed this strange phenomenon? I live in Liberty Park and haven't seen any around the pools or postal stations either.

Some "Floridian" once told me, "...if you have 'geckos' around, that's a good sign that you don't have snakes...because snakes eat them..." YIKES...haven't seen any snakes around and don't want to but "Where have all the Geckos gone...?"
