I don't really know too much about geckos, but i was thinking about getting one to deal with a bug problem. We're tired of spraying chemicals and wanted to know if it was safe to let a gecko roam free around the house. Is that safe for them?

I have four Hemidactylus mabouia running free.
They tend to reside down the back of various tanks during the day, expanding their horizons come the evenings.

The odd thing is, I don't think that much livefood escapes, but they never look thin. They can be encourage up for additional food if I think they need it, or an open tub can be left for them, they'll find it.

They entertain in the evening, chirping at each other, picking off any fruit flies climbing the walls.

I have between 6 and 15 Lepidodactylus lugubris loose in and around my racks to help keep the fruit flies in check, along with a large female Golden Gecko to keep escaped roaches, crickets and Lepidodactylus lugubris in check

The only drawback I've noticed is their droppings end up on the floor behind the cage racks where the vacuum hose won't fit.

I was so glad to see your post. I have the exact question. What have you come up with?

[Phoenixchild]

I have to say that yes there is evidence of droppings in my house.... I thought it was a mouse at first until we found the culprit (oh and yes sometimes I am not convinced if the crickets of the geckos is making the noise...)

I would say watch other animals, in Kuwait we had a cat which could catch the Geckos it spat them out but they were not in good condition after th ecat played with them.. here we have a dog (he's young and should get used to them) - again it's not too simple as the dog barks at them runs away (into walls if they gecko was too close) so it's a different version but same old story .. do all the animals cope with each other

would a house gecko live in a place where its only 68-90 degrees all year

[wyatt003]

only 68-90? Where do you live? I'm from AL. and thats about our summer temp. and there are tons of Med. Geckos that run free around here. Although it does get a lot colder in the winter months and they survive through under 30*F. So I'm sure they would survive in your area.

[zack]

i live in m.i. and it gets about 15 to -10 degrees here but if it lived in my house it would always b abou 65-78

[wyatt003]

m.i. is that Michigan? ya if its inside, almost all of the "house" geckos will do fine at those temps.
