BirdSister! Good to see you here, making me laugh, despite my gloom. My sailor's tongue is not so good at USEFUL thoughts, but helps take some of the steam off. Weather forces a break in my outdoor work as a hurricane or tropical storm, depending on redevelopment over the Gulf of Mexico, is set to roar through here by Friday. But this is the season for it and the break in physical work is welcome. I have many of these Gecko's in and around my house, as I have actively transplanted them here from a close University for many years. Now there is a sizeable population here and they reproduce well, as all their needs are satisfied. They are fantastic creatures and provide prolific bug control, as well as visual enjoyment. They are nocturnal and I can usually see 8 or 10 on the outside of the window when the light is on. Their skin is transparent pink, and when they hang off the glass with their cool toes, I am often able to see 1 or 2 eggs through their abdomen! I will try to get a picture! Most creatures are welcome here, but these guys work for their dinner, and are coveted guests. The bugs in hot, moist East Texas supply dinner up the food chain for my more interesting friends, the Geckos, the bats, and my fine feathered friends. And I am so glad to have them all do their jobs so well. We are a big family, diverse and hungry!
