We got a new pet

We got a new pet - a gecko. He ran into a our bed room in the middle of the night. My wife saw him running on the ceiling right above the bed and started screaming on the top of her lungs. It was really funny.

He was running on the ceiling.


And then I got a mop and got him to run down the wall.



And then he ended up inside a cup.


This is a Mediterranean House Gecko. In Hebrew he is called Shmamit HaBatim - שממית הבתים

We didn't name him yet. I still have to get a terrarium for him, because I don't think he is very happy in his plastic container.

We have them all over the place and really like them. They eat bugs. One shabbos we watched a little one sit on the window sill very patiently for 45 minutes until a moth landed too close. Then he grabbed him and ate him. It was very cool to watch.
