It's Not a Lizard!

I had never seen the lizard that lives in our light; well, I take that back.  I thought the lizard I had seen sunning itself on our stairs was living in our light.  But Mark saw it just outside of the light one day and said how weird looking it was.  He described it to me.  After he left for work, I went on a web site for animals in South Florida.

What we have living in our light is a gecco!  He's been hard to see, but I finally got a close-up of him a couple of times.  This is what he looks like.

It is typical of geccos to live close to homes.  He likes the light because when it's on at night, it attracts insects.  He's usually out first thing in the morning.  That's when I got these pictures.  He usually runs back inside the light when we come outside.  I was lucky to get these, because he's so fast!
