Okay, so technically this probably doesn't qualify as field herping 'cause I found the critter inside my house, but humor me. :rolleyes:

I looked up from the TV this evening and saw this little guy way up on the wall. Sorry about the photo quality, but it's hard to zoom in on a pink lizard on a white wall 12 feet above the ground. :D

According to the DFW herps list, the only gecko found in my area is the Mediterranean gecko. Since this one is on a white wall, I can't see any color pattern. Anyone else think it's something different?

I love these little critters. We have 'em all over the place...them and anoles. My dad once found some tiny eggs in the garage and we incubated them just for fun and hatched out two of these little geckos. :)

They're wild...probably full of nasty parasites and exposed to pesticide and pollution. It wouldn't be a bad idea to freeze one for rubbing on mice though.
 
I know

Why freeze? just keep one handy and use it alive. :grin01:
 
Yup its a Mediterranean, their all over here in phoenix too.
Ive been trying to catch one for the last month, BUT their to damn fast.
 
Looks like that one was slower than something, though. It's got a new tail. I've got one that lives under one of the plants in the backyard. Usually during the summer, we get lots of their heads left in the house for us. But this little guy has avoided the cat so far . . .
