Let them be -- one gecko more means lots of bugs less. I've never seen a gecko fall anywhere, much less have one fall on me; I have, on the hand, seen lots of dead geckos still stuck to the wall or ceiling...!

Hi Simon

Sorry, but yes, they fell on me once when I was in Singapore, but the poor things are scared stiff, and run off sharpish.

Still, know what you mean, little ones are ok, but some of them are quite portly.........yuck.

Though they eat the spiders...........now, trust me here, a couple of lizards are far preferable to the big, hairy beasts I had in my apartment. (So big I thought the kids had put one of those trick huge toy spiders on my coat in the cupboard..........but,..........no, the horrible thing was real.)

I love everything about Singapore, but arrrgh, the spiders I could do without.

you can throw those eggs.. but it makes you an :evil:

to answer your original question, unfortunately, yup, i experienced more than couple times when a gecko decided to fell on or near me.

but what is wrong with geckos anyway? they eat bugs, ants etc. just ignore them. one or two in a flat i think it's normal.. if you had more than that, means your place is rather dirty, with bugs n ants n opened can around..

no? :lol:
