I live in the Arboretum/Great Hills area and have our normal population..I
call them "Desert Storm Lizards" due to their desert cammo attire. ;)

Med' gecko:

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

I don't see them as looking like Desert Storm camo, these look more
like that to me:

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.
