OK i have to...... I think this email is a little Insensitive,  also This person might not  A). Like geckos  B). Are afraid of them   or?  Sometimes i think we as a group get High and Mighty and forget what it is like for those who don't have reptiles. As they do not have a need for them at all.   I have some friends that think i am crazy for having 12 parrots and 30 geckos. but they like all my tattoos. <G>   I.M.H.O.   Burke   P.S.  Hope to see ya at the show next weekend.

Hi (name withheld due to a raging case of ignorance),

You're asking me to tell you how to kill geckos? I'm a person who 
spends their life trying to keep them alive! I also spend a considerable 
amount of time educating people about geckos as pets. I do receive a 
fair amount of e-mail from people who have just moved to a new 
home that has geckos in it, usually they would like to move the geckos 
outside in a HARMLESS manner. I think this is the most insenstive 
e-mail I have ever received because you just asked how to kill them 
with no explanation. Why in the world would you want to kill them 
anyway? They are natural pest control. Kill the bugs in your house 
and they will have nothing to eat and will go away. Geckos are 
harmless. Show a little compassion.
