Gecko

My brother found a gecko in our driveway. He was the cutest little thing I saw. He was cuter than a lizard. Timmy didn't name him but I would have named him Steve. He was smaller than a normal sized lizard and his feet were a little bit different. His skin color was lighter than a lizards. It was a misty-white color. Timmy put him in a jar and he looked up what they eat. We couldn't find it and so we went to where we thought a pet store was but it wasn't there so Timmy let him go. Unfortunately we didn't get a picture.

I learned that there are thousands of different types of geckos and that they don't have eyelids, but instead they have a transparent membrane that they lick to clean. We think this one was a juvenile Mediterranean house gecko.
