How many of you have had a moment when a problem presented itself and you have that moment when a person tells you to just “Figure It Out”. Well, that’s not quite how this situation happened but it’s close enough.

I was just minding my own business taking some much needed down time when from out of nowhere this Geiko just zooms across the carpet in front of me.

Now, I am not the kind of person who panics at the sight of wildlife indoors but I have a tacit understanding with outdoor creatures, you stay outside and I’ll respect your space, you come indoors into my space and you’re gonna have to leave dead or alive.

I went looking for help to catch and release this little sucker but no one wanted to be bothered with the assist and my lizard catching tools were limited. Soooo, I opted for containment with what I had nearby.  Not sure where we go from here but for the moment, we have a truce.
