Oh my , I LOVE Leopard Geckos, the females especially..... Such pretty, sweet and almost too docile little lizards.... I had one for years and when I got married and had my son, I felt I was neglecting her so a good friend "adopted" her and last I heard she was still alive. I think she was 20?
I will raise you ? ( im not a card player....)

When I moved here, to Florida, I was fascinated with the lizards. Not something I had any previous experience with. I spent hours and hours and hours, watching them outside my lanai. I put large rocks out there, to attract them. They like sunning themselves on top, and at other times, they take shelter underneath. I watched how they interacted. I watched their mating. I had many conversations with them. It was all so fascinating.
One day, at a local place, I struck up a conversation with a man. I shared with him what I had been observing, and had learned. He then asked: "Tell me, how many cats do you have?".
Hmm....
Life is funny!
Western Banded Gecko's (Coleonyx variegatus) are fairly common here, both outdoors and indoors. Make great house guests as they keep any bugs that get into the place in check (except the scorpions). Picture is from a couple of weeks ago when I was at my son house. This little guy was in the kitchen looking for an easy meal.
Note: No geckos were injured in the making of this picture, and were released back to the same spot first found at.
