Tropical house gecko

Hemidactylus mabouia

Description:

"Ms. Gertrudes" lives behind my desk. Every night when I turn on the lamp, she comes to eat the small flies that are attracted by the lamp. She is so adapted to my house that she put two eggs inside my laser printer, in the last picture.

No Karen, I put them in another place but they just dry.

How lovely! And did the eggs she laid in your printer hatch?

I love the relationship you have built with this gecko. :P
At least she gets rid of the flies.
