So, I have a new roommate and it's not Bear. But, he doesn't seem to mind or care. I call him/her Gus the Gecko. I think I totally devastated Gus because I took apart these shelves in the corner of my room and packed away the photo album that Gus was sitting on and then s/he jumped off and landed "smack!" on the hardwood floor. Sorry, Gus. Then I vacuumed the area and was afraid I sucked up Gus' eggs or home and went on the internet to make sure that what I vacuumed was not eggs. I'm not really sure if it was or not because I didn't find a clear picture of Gecko eggs, but I don't think it was. Gus retreated to the closet and since then can be seen from time to time on the walls. I don't mind Gus hanging out. I know it would be hard to make it because of those invasive foreign "dragon" lizards that have invaded the islands prey on our local geckos. So, for now, I will try to keep the room clean and safe for my new roomie.

Wow, can't believe that you're considering a gecko your "roomie" :) My mom HATES geckos. I always used to have to throw them outside because she couldn't handle them.
I did have one scary run-in with a gecko though... it was pitch black in my house and I was trying to grab a flashlight off the counter. When I grabbed the handle, it was not hard plastic as I was anticipating. It was soft & squishy... I had put my hand directly on the gecko!! That almost made me scream. Thankfully I didn't squish him & he was okay. (I was okay too :) Ha, ha!)
