OMG!! Geko on the ceilling!!!

[Sumatra503]

Today my House Geko escaped and ran straight up the wall. I had the hardest time catching him and he hates being handles. I had to use a margerine container. He just sat there staring at me and laughing.

No pics, cause I was to busy freaking out to take any.

That's sooo funny!!!! Wish there were pictures, that would be fun to remember. Glad you caught him though.

I'm sure that was traumatic but very

now!

Awww, good thing you were able to catch him before he made an escape!

That reminds me of one time when I was little. I had my pet green tree frogs sitting on my toy horses (don't ask why, I was six years old...) and left the room for a moment. When I came back, the frogs were gone! I spent hours searching the whole room for them, completely distraught, and after hours of searching began to give up hope. I flopped down on the bed (after being certain there were no frogs there), and...lo and behold, there they were on the ceiling! I laughed so hard. They were successfully recovered and put back in their tanks, and lived good long lives.

Time to call the Geigo company for Lost and Found section!

I lost a frog when I was about 8 or so... my mom found it as she was about to take a shower! LOL It was sitting on one of the shampoo bottles!

The same nearly happened when I had my iguana! I won him (or her?) at a festival game and I took it out to show some friends. The darn thing ended up crawling all the way up our fireplace (made of stone). We had to get a ladder out and even then he ran away and climbed all over our shades... until he got on the linoleum floor in the kitchen

then he couldn't run anywhere.

I lost my day gecko that way. He crawled up the wall,and onto the ceiling, I couldn't get him. I can't remember at what point I quit trying but I never did catch him.
