Boris doesn't have the patio to himself: a tribe of ugly, dark colored geckos thrives on the lanai ceiling. Every night about a dozen of these little reptiles heap themselves around the lone light bulb and eat insects that wander into range. While i am grateful for their labors, I must say, these are unusually unattractive geckos. I think its because they live primarily on a dark colored surface and that their color adapts to that environment. Having geckos around is generally beneficial -and they are typically charming and rather cute. The ones that live indoors at our house are of that typical variety.
The ugly tribe out on the lanai is an exception.
So we have Boris by day and the ugly geckos by night. Our patio seems to host the oddest little menagerie.
