Yea, I'd feed em too, my back porch gets disgusting because of geckos and lizards, the lizards sleep at night so I try to catch them to feed my fish in the mornign, my fish won't eat them unless they're swimming frantically, sometimes they learn and play dead and let the filter float them to the edge where they get out, big upset lol


Those geckoes and anoles are great they eat mosquitos and other insects which as you know can be a pest here in Florida.

They are your friends . Just get a hose and wash off the lizard waste now and than.
 
Not to sound crazy, or assume you can just relocate but the native wildlife is something you deal with if you choose where to live.

Wash the ***** off, and be happy there are less much more annoying insects around.

Those look very different than the house geckoes here as the one's here have a more rounded face and smaller.

I wonder what those are called here as have seen them in pet store but dont know the name.



its gekko monarchus

Thats the way I look at plus from what I understand they eat the introduced brown recluse spider and certainly eat drones of mosquitos. Easy enough to get the hose and hose away the gecko, anole ,tree frog poo .
Which is no big deal .
I don't use any insect spray in the yard because I can't due to few pvc ponds but the large amount of lizards I have at this point keep things insect free esp the house geckoes.
 
hmmm.... I might only feed my snake the other common house geckos and keep the gekko monarchus as a pet heheh... it seems too pretty anyway...
