What kind of gecko?
I don't know. It was a juvenile and I only saw it long enough to recognize it as a gecko. I wanted to catch it. It would make a nice pet.

I used to share an office with a plant pathologist that had this beautiful Madagascar day gecko that was bright green and yellow-green with red flecks on the scales of the head. Its name was Bub. Bub got away one day and we never did find it.

This is a Robust Velvet Gecko that used to live in my garage. I haven't seen him for ages.

Very pretty.

I have some five-lined skinks that I see around the house occasionally. They are a fairly common lizard in Missouri. The juveniles have the blue tail. Adults have a brownish tail and the head is larger and reddish.

The moved these lizards to a new genus since I studied them as a student.

Must be the weather. I've moved from the computer chair to bed in preparation for a nap.
I'm just tired. I worked 63 hours last week and already worked 21 hours this week. Worked the last 9 days straight too. I won't be done until the weekend and I'm taking next Monday and Tuesday off.

I have some very similar looking skinks here. They lead a dangerous life this time of year, the magpies are breeding and they seem to be a favoured food to feed their young. Not unusual to see a magpie with 8 or 10 in its beak.

Birds, skunks, some snakes and other animals eat them here, but I've never seen anything with that many at one time.
