You don’t have to justify not wanting lizards in your house. Anyone getting sentimental about geckos has never had one detach from the ceiling and fall on you while you’re sleeping. I have! Nightmare inducing, that.

Everyone is entitled to their opinion, but not everyone is entitled to input. No one but you and Tom deserve input on how you manage your home. ❤️

Geckos are super cute & fun to watch, but I agree w you...not so much in the house. I wonder if you could set up a feeder for them outside, to distract them from inside? When we were in Hawaii, we learned that they LOVE bananas. We’d put banana slices on our lanai railing, & they’d flock to them. We never got any in the condo!😀

😶 Do geckos really speak with a cockney accent?

Oh I love geckos! Fond memories of them hanging out above our front door in Greece where I grew up…

I am ok with geckos as long as they live far away from me and are mostly invisible and keep to their own business

The fact that you name your geckos ... well, that says it all. Maybe you can just tell people that you want few enough geckos that you can keep them straight by name :-)
