Losing the Tail

Hey Everyone-
When my children were rescuing yet, another gecko (this time from our neighbor's cat) they proceeded to bring it in the condo; where it would serve the purpose of "bug eater". Ok fine. As they were about to let it go behind my wash machine, the gecko suddenly detached from the tail! Yowzerrr!!!!!! Screams could be heard, Im sure from the next island. The worst of it was the fact that the tail continued to contort itself all over my floor!! You said it, "ick!!" I of course acted cool, and told my dear Olivia to go pick it up and throw it out in the bushes. No go. She gave me a look like I was an abuser of sorts, and explained, "I like tails with the gecko still on!" Ok fine, even though she sounded like she was ordering a meal from an Asian restaurant, I understood. So I went down the list of children, stll no go.
Finally, Im so happy to say, my oldest rescued us from the tail, but not before he chased his brothers and sisters with it. More screams. Ahhh, that's why he was willing.
Im watching for our tail-less gecko now. We've named him "Stubs". Who knew?!

  1. Sounds like plenty of protein options, Have you read "Dwell" 600sf homes all the rage! Maybe you should consider inviting a few others to live with you as well, doesn't all have to be human, and then when they leave, your house will have a larger feel about it.
