The Gecko In the Cupboard

The second night after we got to our apartments, we discovered that we were not the only ones staying there. In the cubby above our stove, two little geckos had already taken up residence. Calabash and Felipe felt quite comfortable roaming around the place, and we didn't really care what they did - as long as they weren't too loud. However, the next morning, Calabash had been bold enough to explore our girls' bathroom. We drew the line at that, and indignantly ousted the little creature down from the ceiling. Refraining from tossing him over the balcony (we live on the fourth floor) we calmly (and humanely) had him relocated to 'outside'. Felipe has yet to aggravate us in such a fashion, so (since we can't find him) we decided to let him stay - for now...

LOVE the names! I hope Felipe behaves himself. I don't suppose you have a photo of Calabash... you know, at least to remember him by even though you don't consider him roommate material.

(cockroaches are much worse)

You're visitors sound much more interesting than my roommate. I've got to spend all my time with Kevin.

Sorry, Ceals...no pics...but he was a pretty interesting guest, John...I'm not sure how attached you could get to a gecko though, Sarah :D

Gecko roommates...how awesome!
http://www.geckocare.net/ You may need to learn how to treat them well. Have I heard correctly that they eat bugs, so they are considered good housemates?

We have yet to see any cockroaches, so that sounds good to me, Mrs. Bower...but they love to jump out and scare you, so we usually let them play outside... :)
