You confused "Dull" with "Interesting as Fuck", my dear friend!

Protecting your house against bugs! I've always wondered what the common reaction was to places where geckos can live, when they get in the house. Irritation? Resignation? I loved my pet leopard gecko, so I see myself delighted, but I could definitely be romanticizing it.
Thicc boi
By "kinda cute" you surely meant "adorable."
Adorable and cute
I wasn't objecting to the adjective, just the qualifier.
If you don't mind me asking, whereabouts do you live that gifts you cute geckos in your bathroom? I mostly just get stinkbugs.
Adorable! We dont have anything like that in wild, as its too cold here. But i have pet bearded dragon and ball python and i love them very much. Used to have leopard gecko too but she passed this summer, she was 17 years old.
If this was Australia, it'd be a massive spider instead.
There's a bunch of black house spiders out on my patio rn, they eat the local bugs but are kinda spooky to look at. I named one Octavia because when you name something you reduce its power to scare you.
In the tropics in Australia, these geckos eat the spiders. My house has become a complex ecosystem where I'm just waiting for a croc to move in.
It's his house now. And you can't put him outside; it's a house gecko. That would be like putting a salt water fish in fresh water.
House lizards are the best, they clean up all the bugs that like to hang out in corners and are super chill.
I'd rather that in the corner eating bugs than a spider, to be honest.
They are cute! I love their beady eyes! They look so happy. You should feed them and keep them.
Until I got another cat I would have some smaller lizards hanging in my house. I left them alone and they never bothered me. The cat though treats like toys until he nearly kills them. I like the cat but he is much higher maintenance than a nice small lizard.
I only have small size lezard where I am no gecko and never in bathrooms :(
They're bloody massive... I saw a tiny skink in the laundry the other day while cleaning up, if I'd seen this guy instead I would've freaked out. Before naming him Jeff and keeping him as a semi-pet of course.
I got one of these inside my house and I can't get him out. I appreciate how it eats all the bugs, but I don't appreciate it shitting all over the place and walls.
Oh! There's a lot of these beige ones on my house too! Do you live in the pacific?
Filipino wife: "Why don't you have house lizards in America? They are lucky!"
I seem to have finally beaten the roach issue, but I thought about snatching a lizard at camp and throwing it under the stove for "luck".
