How adorable!!! In Hawaii these run rampant throughout our beach house and eat a lot of bugs that would otherwise pester us. Hopefully he'll be just as helpful for you and your plants  |

The' Mediterranean house gecko', Hemidactylus turcicus not to be the confused with the Asian species, Hemidactylus frenatus. 
I usually dont see them on my orchids but they are stuck to the walls at night grabbing bugs that seek the light. They are very fast too. Sometime when they run they will break a piece of the tail end off and leave it wiggling...

heres Goerge of My Jungle.. He lives in my greenhouse. When I moved I had tried to catch him but he was too fast. Down to a few last pieces of framing I found him hanging on to a single lonely rail. Oh man broke my heart to see him lose his world. I ran him down and caught him ,moved him in the new location. I think I got a smile out of reptile

they like to lick the stikky happy sap off the spikes buds and blooms. Its very sweet and gives them energy Im sure and maybe like dessert. I wish they wouldnt do that but they keep the insects out of the greenhouse so I guess they can walk across my flowers when I have them

We get tarentalid mediterranean geckos, and when I raise the cash and build my greenhouse, they will be encouraged to take up residence.
Those anoles are gorgeous little lizards.
