Common House Gecko Mating
I found a gecko in the bathroom of a parts store in north georgia. I think it looks like a meditrain gecko. Must be a newborn. Is it a good idea to keep him as a pet thought he’d gotten lost because I don’t think he is native to this area.
I believe I found a nest of gecko egggs. They were in the sand under a large plastic garbage can. I brought them inside in sand and put them in a window in covered container wf air holes. Checked them every day for less than a week and one day the eggs were all broken open but never saw what came out of them! The air holes were square and so small I didn’t think anything could get out. You could pick up one part of shell wf a toothpick, and I think 3-4 could fit on my small fingernail. Does the size sound right for house geckos? I have seen them outside on the house. Thanks, B
