Hi Sherron, Do you really have geckos all around your house? I wish that I did! Where I live, you can't find wild geckos anywhere, so I am happy with my leopard gecko, which is in captivity. I would like to see some pictures of your day gecko, I couldn't find them on your other email. I have actually never seen a gold dust day gecko. (Correct me if I spelled that wrong). I think I will call myself Gekkonidae on this list. That is the scientific word for gecko, but I am sure you already do.
