This is our friendly new house pet, the gecko. We have seen them outside our front door on the porch but we woke up this morning to one on the wall upstairs. Of course the girls freaked out until I told them it was a good thing because it will eat all the bugs, especially the spiders. We have had lots of tiny jumping spiders in the house. A few weeks ago Rachel woke up before any of us and came down stairs to find a huge wolf spider on the floor in the family room. It was the size of a Tarantula. Gavin killed one that size about a month ago. He said it was like killing a small mouse. Of course Rachel didn't kill it and it ran under the couch. We haven't seen it since but it may still be there. Anyway, we decided to keep the gecko in the house so it will eat all the small bugs. The last few nights Rachel and Vika have woken up with spider bites all over them. Whatever spider it was must have been pretty mad because it bit them several times in the same area, so this is our revenge. He's kind of cute isn't he?
