I have no problem with lizards at all, but tonight not one has put in an appearance, at least not whilst we've been around. No doubt hiding somewhere.I do have a problem with the spelling of Gecko, Gekko, Ghekko. It seems to be spelt so many ways.

Re: Lodgers
I love Geckos and would be quite happy to have them around the house. We had them in our room in a hotel in Sri Lanka, bit of a shock at first but we got used to them being around. We saw a couple of baby ones that must have been all of half an inch long. Cute little things.

Yes, of course! I forgot how much they love living behind the paintings. I recall three young ones, almost transparent, living behind a painting I had done. I wanted to put in a charity auction, but I couldn't bear the idea of uprooting the little ones so the painting stayed.
