Tonight when Sebastian and I took out the recycling, we discovered one of our kitchen residents hiding in the bottom of the recycling bin. At first Sebastian was a bit startled. Then I explained how much Tess and I adore these little guys, who are like pets who surface every few days in the kitchen. We carefully took the recycling bin back upstairs after which I took the picture below. We've also decided to get a composter in the form of a worm farm. My sister, Penny, thought this was a great idea but reminded me to feed the worms when we're away. Unfed, the worms will escape in search of food. In what I thought was an unrelated topic I told Penny about finding our kitchen pet in the recycling bin. She replied, "Oh yeah, there you go… the geckos will take care of the worms!"

Seems like the geckos are at an advanced level of recycling.

Hmmmm, I love geckos but eating up your recycling army…. well, that is a bit gross!
very sweet!
Wow, that must be one happy gecko — he/she’s FAT!! A real cutie…wish I lived in a warmer place so I could have one too (Tokyo’s just a wee bit too cold).
we have lots of them all over our house – I think they keep the mosquitos at bay.
On another note – where can one get a worm composter here in HK, we’d really like one but I was told they weren’t available…
