Olive Garden Gecko



Look what Joshua spotted in the corner while eating at Olive Garden! He has eyes like his daddy, this little one blended in with the carpet. Both he and Tayler caught it, we dampened a napkin to store it in this cup. The waitress thought "it" was the neatest thing and had to take it around and show everyone. After much debate we decided to take it home and set it free, thinking that if caught in the restaurant again next time might not be so lucky.
Josh was thinking this was a common ordinary lizard. I kept telling him, I think it is a Gecko, just not sure which kind. I have wanted to have one as a pet for years, and had looked at them in enough pet stores to recognize one. On the way home I found out on my lap top the critter is a Common House Gecko.

Taken right before the set Gecko free near the creek where bugs and water are plentiful.
