Wild Kingdom

I found this frog in my front room and tried to nudge him to the door.  He wouldn't budge and stayed there for a couple hours before heading out. 

A large praying mantis hung out on my door one day.  Every time I opened it, he would turn his head and look at me strangely, like I was interrupting him. 

One night, Frederico and Paco, my geckos, were hunting on the wall.  Normally, they stay out of each other's space, but that night, Frederico stalked Paco, raised his body and tail in the air to make himself look bigger, and crept up in a clearly menacing way.  Paco just stared at him nonchalantly.  When he got close enough, Paco bit his neck and latched on, and Frederico ended up hanging by his neck.  I hit the wall with the broom.  Paco let go, and Frederico fell on the AC unit.  That was the end of that fight.

  1. Hi again Carrie:

    Looks like you have a zoo in your house. Have you seen any snakes?
