"The lizard in the image is a Common House Gecko (also known as Asian House Gecko, Pacific House Gecko, or Moon Lizard), scientifically known as Hemidactylus frenatus." ~Google
A common gecko was small enough to wander into the shower through a small drainage slit in the window frame. He was so adorable. I didn't want him to die in the cottage we stayed in. With just a small prod to his tail, he jumped on my thumb; he was half the size of it, and I deposited him in the front garden. I hope he enjoyed the shower we shared.
The photo was taken in Sanibel, Florida.
Thank you to Viewing Nature with Eileen for the opportunity to take part in Saturday Critters.
I always love seeing the cute lizards! They are not seen in my area.
ReplyDeleteThank you for linking up and sharing your critter post. Take care, have a great weekend. PS, thank you for leaving me a comment.
Thank you in return for commenting on my critters post.
DeleteI love that you treat the wildlife around you so beautifully. We were familiar with Geckos when we lived in Panama, Central America for four years. Sometimes we would have to rescue one from the cats when it found a way into our home.
ReplyDeleteThis was such a dainty little thing, I hope he/she survived out there among the shells.
DeleteGorgeous photos :-D
ReplyDeleteThank you Ananka.
DeleteWhat beautiful photos, I have never seen a gecko before.
ReplyDeleteGreetings Irma
They are adorable! Thanks for visiting.
ReplyDeleteIt was so very small. I didn't want to close my fingers on it and harm it. So delicate. I was so glad that with a bit of a prod he jumped on my thumb.
