Melissa is outside our kitchen window right now with a flashlight, checking the ground for one of the two geckos who currently live in our side yard and regularly frequent our window ledges at night to eat the bugs that gather there. A few minutes ago, while attempting to close the window, she noticed a pair of small suction cupped feet sticking out near the top of the window frame between the glass and the screen. Apparently, either Guido or Ginko (We can’t really tell them apart) had gotten himself stuck. Whether we tried to move the window, or the screen (both of which slide back and forth along their own tracks) we inevitably would cause quite a bit of discomfort to our little amphibious friend, but we had to close the window, so I very carefully tried to push the screen along its track until the gecko could escape. However, right as the gecko was nearing freedom, the screen slipped off its track and it and the gecko attached to it, fell to the ground.
Melissa just returned from the side yard with nothing to report. “Maybe he crawled off to die in peace.” She said. We’ll keep our eye out for him.
