It was a gecko. You've got to be very careful capturing them,
because they can release their tails without being pulled on.

I always try to guide them into a box and take the whole box
outside. If you try it with just your hands, the gecko always
ends up in two pieces.


I just clap my entire palm over them, then slide my fingers around so
that I grasp them right behind the head. :-) I can nearly always get
them intact, providing the cats did not find them first! Then there is
no tail left to worry about. G

Most of the ones I find are newborn babies. They hatch in the attic, and
fall thru the ductwork.
