Unpacking a dusty cardboard box that had been undisturbed for more than a decade, Marianne found a lizard amongst the box’s contents. She was startled and later said that she had reacted as if the four-inch-long creature were dangerous. Ozzie soon carried the box into the garage so that the lizard could escape.
When Marianne, who is visiting here from Kansas, heard that Arizonans consider having a lizard in one’s house to be good luck, she embraced that aGecko, which is one of the five subspecies of the Western Banded Gecko.
Our gecko is almost, if not fully, grown. The species ranges in size from four to six inches. They are shy, nocturnal creatures, foraging at night for insects and small spiders.
I sure hope that our gecko decides to stick around. Many things will happen in 2019, and we all need some good luck with them.
