At some point when we have returned to the US and think back to our days in Singapore, undoubtedly we will remember the geckos. During our first days in our Singapore home, it seemed that they were eve
rywhere: on the ceiling, on the walls, in the kitchen sink, in the kitchen cabinets, in the kitchen drawers, behind the curtains, in the bathroom, on the floor........... There were at least 2-3 spotted per day. As a result, despite the 7 bedrooms, all 4 of us slept in one room for about 3 weeks. We were all a little freaked out by their sticky feet, beady black eyes and fast, jumpy movements. Thankfully, our faithful golden retriever was soon released from doggy jail (quarantine) and came to the rescue. Our crazy dog finally has a purpose in life: hunting geckos! Every night, our brave dog searches all of the ceilings throughout the house, making sure our house is secure. In the exciting event that he finds one, he is ready to go in for the kill. The little ones he swallows 
whole! Thankfully we now only see about 1 a week. And one morning he found this lovely little critter on the kitchen floor - a 3 inch centipede - yuck!! So far there has only been one of these. Supposedly giant pythons live in the Singapore sewer and monkeys live in the woods by the polo club. If either one of those moves into our house, we are outta here!!!
