Default Squatters in my flat!
Got a couple of squatters in my Abu Dhabi flat! At least they'll deal with any insects that might get in.

Pic of one of them attached.

Gordon the gecko!

I've just discovered a 3rd in the bathroom. They are about 3 inches long.

I'm looking for names for the other 2 - I'll open up naming them to the Forum and I'll choose my favourites during next week.

Apparantly they are common house geckos, Hemidactylus frenatus

Gordon is lovely, Ian!

I have seen plenty of Geckos in Portugal, usually at night time! They scurry in and out of the tiled rooves!!

Jules and Rimet...very topical, Ruth! Nice one!


How about..Hide and Seek!

Thanks, Ian! My Gecko is not as mobile as yours probably is, I expect you guessed that much though!
