Gecko

Geckos, House gecko, Tokay gecko

A gecko can walk straight up a window and across the ceiling, clinging to almost any surface with its tiny toe pads. That talent makes it a dream image for holding on and keeping your grip when life tilts at odd angles. In warm countries geckos are welcome house guests that click and chirp at night and eat insects, so a gecko indoors often has a homey, protective feel. Its big, unblinking eyes give it a curious, slightly comic look, and one staring back at you may be a nudge to notice small details. A gecko in the palm of your hand speaks of small, pleasant surprises.
