They remind me of Vietnam where they are considered good luck!

I wish MY mom would put some in the birdcage so they would eat the BIRD, who thinks he's TOP PET around here just coz he's older.

Oh wait... You mean that other kind of birdcage.

Sigh.

My two cats find them on the lanai and bring them in the house where they proceed to torture the poor little things to death. They don't eat them, they leave the sad little corpses for me to dispose of.

I can just imagine those poor little things running around, and your cats thinking it's a game of flashlight tag...

You ain't lived until you've chased a lizard around your house for hours trying to get it outside If you can't get it out you must sleep with your mouth closed until you catch it.

I have been told that if you throw a wet towel over it it will get caught and you can pick it up and give it the gate. I am hoping to never have to find out.

They spend most of their lives running from snakes.

But they are very important because they eat tons of bugs.

And yes, they are seasonal. You'll see a few around in the winter but not many.

Sooo, when the snowbirds come to play, the geckos go away.

I use a small dry dish towel but I guess a wet one would be easier to control.

In the winter they go to the islands. They go on little tiny rafts made from palm leaves. Four of them to a raft. Cutest thing you've ever seen.

It could be, that the snakes got them!!!!

I have noticed a large number of lizards (anoles) this year - seems to be a bumper crop.

In the past week or so, there have been quite a few baby ones (less than 1 inch long) as well as the usual ones that hang around my Florida room (on the outside, of course). Some of the large ones are around 7 inches including the tail.

Always fun to watch them in their courting ritual of bouncing up and down push-up style and having the dewlap fold in and out.

We have lots of them here in Tall Trees. Hector and Harriet live in our birdcage. We have breakfast and dinner with them every night
