Critter post.

Dude, it's been a long time since I last posted here. The whole process has changed. I'll have to do it more often, to get used to it again. Anyway...

The little wiggler you see here scurried out from under a set of shelves in a classroom where I was helping out the other day. The women in the room started to panic as I leaned down to pick the little dude up. How can anyone be afraid of a little gecko? For Christ's sake.

I walked the little scudder out the back door and left him on the stuccoed outer wall of the school. I assume he lives there still, searching out little bugs to eat. Beautiful, fascinating, and so gentle to hold. And a nice shot from my phone. Nice detail (click to enlarge).

Anyway, I'm off. Have a nice Labor Day holiday, and think of old Neil when you look up at that beautiful full moon this weekend. Cheers.

I never realized they were that small! that's gotta be a baby, right?

It might be a baby. One person at the time said it looked dehydrated. No tellin' how long it was under that set of shelves, inside the building. Normally, the ones around here are about twice that size.

Dehydrated? How in the world can ya tell?

We have a family of them that live under our front porch light every night.

Goddess - I guess we thought it looked shriveled. God knows what it found to eat and drink inside the building.

Kerrcarto - Yea, we have a lot of them around here. But if the cats don't get them, Denise sucks them into the vacuum cleaner. That's a mean English woman I live with.
