pet geckos

It has always been my secret wish to have a pet reptile. Just a little one, nothing big or dragonlike. In high school As a kid I dreamed of having a pet salamander. I have literally woken up from dreams of owning whole families of turtles, and I was quite sad when I learned that in Portland you can't have turtles within city limits. Most who know me well know my soft spot for goldfish, which really aren't reptiles but are sort of wiggly like them nonetheless. 

And then Cambodia fulfilled my life-long dream. Reason 781 why I love this country: there are geckos nearly everywhere! Especially my kitchen (which seems to be their playground)...

where they scurry among bottles...
and leave turds on our countertops
and camp out inside our dishes...

 Ok, so maybe that's kind of gross. But they really are so cute! ;)
