Can you ID my roommate?

[Mack]

I'm in a motel this evening and I have a visitor. A really cute visitor.

It is roughly 2.5 inches long. Very cool little guy.

 

[sasha]

its a gaco we had them in israel all over. they would come out in the evening to eat insects...

 

[sasha]

I think you spell it Gaco maybe geco?????

 

[mymindisamob]

Looks like what we commonly call a House Gecko.

 

[Mack]

Very cool, thanks.

I think he sells car insurance over here in the North east.

 

[Briggz]

[sasha]

Burleson, Texas.
I have him in the room and a toad just outside.

 

[dougo83]

Yup...just a common gecko...really common in TX...

 

[Mack]

He's really cool. I haven't been able to get him to talk to me yet. I assume he has an Aussie accent, but he's kinda shy.

Ask him about car insurance...that usually works. But be warned, he won't shut up about it...

That's a common type of Gecko in Phoenix. They're good for eating bugs. I saw one a few years ago grab a grasshopper about 2/3 its size.

It looks like this one:

I've seen two references to insurance, so I'm a little late on that one....

but, is he offering any good deals?

If you get hungry, you catch him and cook him over a candle and then cut his head off and eat him ala Bear Grylls style....

Geico insurance uses a gecko for their mascot...and he's always saying that he's a gecko, no Geiko!

He is might cute, though.

 

[Cpl Punishment]

Yep, it's a gecko, I have about 300 of them in and around my yard.
Helps keep the insect population down. Those, the tree frogs and the spiders. . .

Here he is:

The OP's picture is pretty cool, that thing looks like it's got a HUGE head.

Here in Southern Arizona they can be found hanging around your porch light at night having a snack.

I never noticed them until this little guy showed up in my room last night. I see them a lot but unless you see them close up you don't notice the cool colors. I will start looking much more closely at lizards from now on.
