This guy is not looking his best today, but I think he's just happy to be alive. While cleaning up in the kitchen, I found what appeared to be a dead gecko stuck to the resealable adhesive tape for the nearly empty scone container. Upon closer inspection, I realized this gecko was NOT dead, but severely, incapacitatingly glued to the vessel. I wasn't concerned with the tail because I know those can grow back, so I carefully, ever so gently and painstakingly either peeled sticker from gecko or removed gecko from tape. In the end, he was a little shocked but eventually did scurried away. The boys later informed me that this type of gecko can shed and regrow eyes and feet as part of their self preservation mechanism. I don't think that would have helped this guy out of his sticky situation!
