I forgot to mention that lizards have special symbolism in the history of my

similarly to how an Indian might react to a discussion about Cows.

I hope my borderline "holier than thou" speech did not cross the line? If
it did I offer my most sincere apology.

On has to ask if the gecko is not best left alone to roam your yard as it
wishes? Putting it in an aquarium does not replicate the full breadth of
environment it would have otherwise had.

That said, they are the easiest thing to catch, as my 6-1/2 and 8 year old
daughters so do on a regular basis, but they understand the rules, do not
harm the lizards, and you must release them back to help control the

insect

infestation.

Wait till they are sunning themselves in the mid morning and throw a net
over them. Or surprise them from the flank when they are sunning
themselves. All lizards are slower when their blood is still cold and as
such are not as fast in the early mornings.

Good luck.

alternativly see what atracts the Gekos and build on that to atract
them to your yard/pond and watch em there.
