you won't see this guy on a commercial any time soon

A typical Florida gecko. You see these little buggers scurrying 'round every so often. Some are darker colored (like this one), some are lighter colored. Some are really tiny, some are about the length of your hand (tail included) but not much bigger.

Believe it or not these geckos really don't freak you out. They don't get into anything, they stay outside and more or less just hang out. Some of them are pretty cool looking, actually. If they hear you coming, they quickly scurry elsewhere so it's not like they're bothersome or anything like that.
