Gecko scout

Perhaps I should have been a zoologist- observing avian and animal life here, all the way down to tiny ants and creepy crawlies, keeps me endlessly intrigued and amused. This morning I was following a gecko track his breakfast in the form of a nice juicy ant until gecko felt me watching and shrieked and ran for cover behind my mirror. I thought he was used to me since he creeps out and watches me apply makeup every morning. Geckos are endlessly curious.

Even funnier is when you catch them in the middle of something. They immediately freeze-as if that gives them some sort of invisible veneer . An incredibly guilty look comes over their face. (Aw mom, I didn't do it, he did!) You can see the wheels turning as they try to ascertain if it be friend or foe, and if foe, where it stands on their scale of danger. Eventually they skulk or scurry away depending on the outcome of that thinking process.
