Schlegel's Japanese Gecko
Recently our house has been over-run by these little suckers. I've seen them on the veranda, behind the cabinets, in the plants, and most recently climbing up the kitchen wall. I don't really mind though, since they're kinda cute and they eat the bugs. In fact in Japan they're called 家守 or 守宮 (both pronounced 'yamori') which means 'protector of the house' and are thought to be protective spirits watching over the home.

Are they on the inside or outside? Outside is ok, but inside would mean instant problems for them.
No, they are totally on the inside!
Do they chatter in a Cockney accent? There's one here in the States that does that and I just wanna wack him with a flyswatter sometimes, if only I could reach into the TV...
