Geckos are very neat! This species is not native to the US, but they're everywhere in Texas.

Thankies.

Geckos are great. I wish we had more of them, but winters in this part of Texas are *just* cold enough to keep them away.

Then again, I should look under more rocks for herps. I'll get plenty of chance for that w/ the research group I'm in now. Most of us are herpetologists to some degree

I really don't need to look that hard. Lizards are all over the place down here, geckos are a lot rarer though. But They usually can be seen around the outside of the house at night.

Rarer still, at least in this area of the island, are or exclusive species.

Always nice to have some lizards around. Do you know what's endemic to your location?

For the most part, yes

[link] Only this as far as I know.

If I'm thinking right and endemic means it lives exclusively in one area

That's what it means, yep

I've never been that far southeast. If I do make it, I'll keep my eyes peeled.

What do you mean?

They live only in Antigua

From where I live, Antigua is South by Southeast. As a herpetologist, I never know where I'll be looking for critters.

It looks that way. Lots of van der Vaals forces + claws. I've never seen them crawling along the ground, now that I think about it - only on walls and more often on ceilings and the underside of overhangs.

I've never seen a successful bite, but they do try. I bet if I watched them long enough, I would see that.

I've talked a little bit about this topic on my blog if you'd like to read about it : [link]

I've never even considered the ecological impact of lights before, what an interesting topic!

It's current science at its best. I might be a little biased, considering that I'm preparing to publish a paper a related topic
