I woke up to find this guy checking out my Fury  I have no idea how they get in the house. I think they can morph themselves through glass.  He stayed on the headstock long enough for me to toss him back outside

I took a lot of pics although he ws pretty camera-shy. He did his Gecko 'patrol' day and night gobbling down any unwary misquitoes.. so the shy lizard was a welcome roomie. |

The house is so airtight, they had to put an exchange vent in for our AC system. I think they wait by the door and run in between our feet  |

| | | Pssssssst that's not a gecko....... it's an anole
Geckos have suction cup like feet and can climb right up windows and across ceilings.......and sell insurance.....
You probably had a female sneak in and lay eggs somewhere in your house and they're hatching if you suddenly see em a lot.
I leave em in the house-they *love* mosquitoes and cockroaches and flies and all sorts of bugs we get in Florida. Unless you have a cat, the cat will try to eat em... toss em out .
Wait, that's a brown anole though, on second thought, let the cat eat it. They're displacing the green anole (which is a Florida native). They eat the small green anoles and their eggs! Bad lizards....
Somewhere around here I have a pic of my snake curled around one of my basses... if I'm holding her while practicing she'll slither down the fretboard and wrap around the headstock......talk about neck dive!
Bet that guy thought he was camoflauged......"ah he'll never see me here"......cute pic

That's one reason why we got the new sliding glass doors. How he got in, I'll never know. My dogs were going crazy trying to kill it and it was doing it's best to bite them. If I was alone, I probably could have caught it and let it go  It met it's end with a shovel. That was 5 minutes of CHAOS I will never forget

Because likely that's what I'd have had to do and by the time I was done, I'd probably be snake-bit.
