While there are many lizards in Singapore, none are as beloved as this little fellow. Imagine walking and stumbling into the real life gecko from the Geico commercials (full British accent and all)! That was how I felt when I found my favorite lizard. He looked so fancy, yet so simple. The best part was he helped eat the ants that invaded my room. After my friend found him and gave him to me, I put him in my bedroom. Within a week the ants started going away.
They are very small, with tiny arms and legs, but can move very fast, like lightning. They are usually a pinkish-gray color, which makes them super cute.
Naturally, I knew I had to have the lizard, but in a safe way; (my window is always open, so he can come and go as he pleases). I was most drawn to his uncanny resemblance to the Gecko from Geico.
It lives in piles of rocks and near sunny areas where there are lots of bugs and places to sunbathe (lizards are cold-blooded). My special lizard lives right outside my window and comes in to eat any bugs that manage to get inside, before leaving to sit in the sun.
