Gecko Ackshun
Well a few weeks ago I found a gecko hanging out on a pine tree in my backyard. I accidentally spotted him as he either fell from a higher branch or jumped down, but he looked like he was falling. This was the first time in four years in Florida that I have seen a gecko in my backyard. I have seen large iguanas in Florida before but not in my yard, but I don’t think I have seen any geckos anywhere in Florida before this.
So today I spotted two of them on the tree in the backyard. At first I didn’t bother them, but then I went in and got my camera. I wasn’t able to find them where I saw them sit last and I moved the tree branches around trying to find them or get some movement from them, but nothing. I almost gave up when I spotted the tail of one of them. And this is when I made my discovery.
The two geckos were mating and I probably disturbed the action they were having. What I do know is that I snapped up pictures of what I can, but not having a zoom lens on hand, I couldn’t get closer than I had. I now know there is more national geographic stuff going on in my backyard than I had thought. And this is the month of Ramadan, the geckos were not fasting!
