Whoops, meant to say I grew up in FLORIDA. All that Sun-In clearly damaged my brain.

I grew up in California, where we euphemistically referred to roaches (that you couldn’t stop on because they were actually larger than the sole of your shoe) “Palmetto Bugs.” Much more benign. Now I live in California, and I have showered with spiders the size of a mouse pad. It’s actually a good excuse not to shave your legs.

Much like the spider that so graciously sets up her web so I can limbo onto and off of my patio, and the honeybees I feed sugar water to, and the wolf spiders I re-locate outside, and the house centipedes I turn a blind eye to because they eat everything else I hate. Yeah, look up house centipedes. Your gecko is fab!

We have a lot of geckos around here too… but I can honestly say, your gecko is the cleanest! Don’t know if I’ve ever bathed with one… haha. Thanks for the laughs.

i once took a shower with a beatle (in new jersey). it was the ’60s, but he wasn’t named john, paul, george or ringo.

i once visited a friend living in florida — she wanted me to sleep in a room off the garage with a few resident palmetto bugs! that’s a fancy name for flying cockroaches. i slept on the living room couch instead.

i’m glad i live in the northeast where the winter kills off most of the bugs!

florida is meant for bugs and other critters, not people. every bug from ants to spider are much bigger and fiercer in florida. and look at the size of that mouse that lives outside orlando!

I’m so glad to hear your “gecko” is clean. I heard on the news, Child Gecko Services raided a house near you and removed all Geckos due to unclean conditions. In order to get them back, the homeowner promised to grow grass in the living and bedroom areas, to provide a healthy atmosphere for them. You’re doing a great job and will probably be recognized by the UGS ( United Gecko Society) for an award at their next function.

This is a reall cute albeit “slimey fishtale”.
Perhaps you should consider the tub instead.

This is funny. I can relate to this as a resident of Florida.

I cried laughing. I too have a gecko tale. We have one that torments our cat every morning by running up and down the glass block window in our bathroom. Our cat (Cleo) can be found sitting by that window every morning before sunup to watch the gecko move from block to block. She stares with a deep desire to catch that lizard, but alas she is foiled everytime she makes her attempt to bite, pounce or even bat at it, as she can’t get through that glass block, to her dismay. I have the most frustrated cat around. Next week I am sending her to the Cat Psychaitrist.

You’ve gotta catch your gecko to breed it. The geckos I have down here in Mexico never wash and use all night playing crap game. Sure could need some educate competition.
