Hi Ginda,
My mother had a gecko living in her apartment, near Ottawa, for about two
years. We took it to be a gecko, anyway. It had arrived in a potted plant,
an hibiscus. It was very discreet, loved to bathe in the sun on the window
sill, changed color with the environment (went from brown while lying on a
branch, grey on the window sill and turned instantly bright green when
eating cabbage worms. A big treat, which he took days to digest. He
absolutely refused potato beetles, maybe because it was not in its colour
palette to turn bright red. He also ate all the little flying insects, flies
off course, and got water from the plants in the window. When he ate too
much, he would grow and I think he would shed his skin, which appeared to be
a "painful" process, making him quiet and listless for a few days. His
territory was limited to the window sill, the potted plants and sometimes
the back if a couch nearby. It seems hard to believe that he would actually
eat cockroaches. Are they not too big and bony?
