It came from the Detroit Zoo two years ago. Some people there think it is good luck for a gecko to live in their house. Mother geckos lay two sticky eggs on a tree trunk or branch. Little geckos hatch in 100-182 days.
Wild geckos eat bugs at night.
Most zoo geckos eat crickets. Zookeeper Dave Messmann fed it canned cat food through a small tube. Now the gecko always wants to eat cat food. To hear the gecko, dial 424-1414, Ext. 1182 using a push-button phone.
