Lodgers

I doubt our new lodgers wouldnīt be welcome everywhere, but Iīm quite happy with them. We appear to have some Gekkos that have moved in. There were two on the kitchen wall last night, one in the old bathroom and one in my bedroom. These are only young ones I think, approximately 2" long. We also have two quite large lizards, not sure they are Gekkos, that live in the outbuilding where the washing machine and boiler are, they are often to be seen scurrying under the washing machine.

We do see varying sizes of these creatures very often in the garden. I love them and Iīm quite happy to give them house room, I hope they catch all the nasty flying and crawling things that manage to make their way indoors.

Re: Lodgers

We always had geckos in the house when I lived in the tropics.
We called them Chit Chats because of the noise they make.

So did we Muddy. Walls and ceilings were covered in them, too many to count. Although where they used to vanish too was always a mystery.

To be honest Eliza, no they donīt, itīs very rare you see any visible signs of any toileting.

No sorry Tiffany, but I will try to keep the camera handy for their next appearance. I still havenīt found any alternative site to photobucket though. I really will have to make an effort to find one that I can cope with.
