Also, this little charmer showed up and woke me up around 6:30am when he screamed the word "GECK-KO!" (They really do this and it's almost unbelievable that a tiny lizard makes this noise!)
Look how cute he was! I was amazed to discover that something so tiny could make such a huge noise! If you haven't ever heard what a gecko sound like, click here to listen to a recording of what I'm talking about (otherwise the whole "banging on a muffled cowbell" thing doesn't sound very believable).
Oh, I forgot to mention! A few times I was scared awake by what sounded like someone ringing a muffled cowbell and then saying "GET-GOOOO! GET-GOOOOO!" right outside of my bungalow! I'd wake up in a panic and open my bungalow door and there'd be nothing! After like the third night in a row of this happening, I mentioned it the girls and they were like "Oh, you have a gecko in your room! That's what they sound like! And that's why they're called geckos because it sounds like they're saying 'geck-goooo!'" While I was reading in the evening, my critter revealed himself.
