Med' gecko:

Agree they are pink-ish, but they have a mottling of brown and tan that
looks to some like Desert Camo. :-)

They breed in my attic. :-)
I lost all my phone lines when I had vinyl siding installed. I think
they put nails thru my wiring. :-[
I had the phone company put all new wires thru the attic instead of
stringing them along the outside of the house.
They found Gecko eggs all along the attic borders.
I am happy about this! No wonder I get so few roaches and silverfish
anymore.

<lol> I have lots of those too!
Much to my joy. :-)
Anoles as well.
I have to be SO careful with limited pesticide use! I prefer organic
control as much as is possible.
I was pleased to see a yellow garden spider with a nice web in my grape
vines yesterday.
'bout damned time. They seem to like Mustang vines.
