I was cleaning some windows in my shop when I saw a little brown lizard crawling on the glass outside, and at first I didn't think anything of it. It didn't take long, though, before I noticed that something was odd about this lizard's feet, but I couldn't quite place what it was. I stopped wiping the glass when he turned his little head to get a look at me, and I realized that this was no ordinary Anole, but still didn't quite get it until it did something odd. It licked it's big eyeball, and pretty much half it's head with it. A couple seconds later I realized what I was seeing, and it was a sho-nuff gecko of some sort.
I should point out that I was high on a ladder at the time, and had no hope of catching him if I went outside, which irked me.
That was last week, and I've seen a few more since then, hanging out under the eaves of the roof. In all the 14 years I've been renting this building, I've never noticed these, so I think they're new.
Any ideas what they may be or how they got here, or how long they've been here in very south central Alabama? They're little coffee-with-creamer-brown colored geckos with no other markings. They seem fairly fearless, if that helps any, and I think they prefer the shade, and are most active at night.
