Re: Lizard in the Sink

When I lived in Hawai'i, we always had geckos in the house. The locals considered it good luck to have them. I figured that anything that ate cockroaches couldn't be bad!

Hi, Sue. They are wonderful little creatures. I must have a zillion of them in my yard, A former office manager at work had an adventurous son who would catch them and hold them until they bit onto his ear lobes [this is not difficult, but don't try it at home, children], then he would come to our office with anoles dangling off either side.

I found one in my apartment in July. Was watering the plants on the
windowsill and there he was! We had to lock the cat away, then we caught him
in a tea cup and let him free outside. I figure he must have hitched a ride on
one of my houseplants. Cute little guy...and tiny! I didn't think NYC was
their kind of climate tho!

That is so funny. When I moved to Tennessee from the FL Keys 7 years ago I
brought all my potted plants and kept them in my daughter's garage for a
couple of weeks. She's still finding geckos in her house. Unfortunately,
no
matter how much I assure her they are harmless, she's terrified of them.
