RE: CLOSE TO THE CREATURES WITH PAPA - MEDITERRANEAN HOUSE GECKO
What a cool story! I really like having them around, as i did in New Orleans. Some people actually spray insect killer on them, which I think is terrible.
It's definitely terrible!
In El Paso, kids would catch them in jars, shake the jars really hard to 'play' with them, and then leave the jars out in the hot sun for the poor little geckos to boil to death. (The sun in El Paso was intense even on cool days.
Some kids would fill the jars with water to see what the geckos to do. It was horrible. I rescued as many as I could, but I wasn't able to save many.
I hear kids and people in Florida are the same way with all the anoles.
