Say hello to this little fella!

Every night this little wall lizard in our bedroom crawls down from the wall on to a specific spot on the computer table, that is, next to the CPU box, and falls asleep without any fear of the presence of us humans in the room. It has been like this since the past few weeks, and I am truly amazed by this strong preference of his regarding his bed spot. Here in India we consider wall lizards as sacred, and we don't harm them in any way. We are too glad to have this little fella as our roommate! :)

Omg ..I'm so much afraid of lizards. I'm from India and here we don't consider them sacred

Here in Karnataka, we have such a belief. They are considered as good omen.

That must be a lovely lizard family! :) Actually the one in our room too is a teen lizard, not yet fully grown up. But already he is all by himself, independent and finding his own food!

@sunil4ya I see. I like these lizards for they keep insect population down. They're friendly and since they are sacred all the better.

Oh!! I am not scared though but I find lizards very disgusting. The way it pounces on the insects is too good!

Yes this type of house lizards or gekkos are indeed wall dwellers. They even sleep on the wall only. This young one in our room somehow has made our computer table his bed! He sure likes that spot, spending the whole night there.
