Gecko eggs
These were inside an old bin I used to store stuff in the garden. The fact that they are in pairs shows that they are geckos but beyond that, I can't know which kind, there are 2 species living around my house
thick toed geckos that are only that are only active at night and hibernate: the one above is at the end of winter and the one below that has been eating well and saving fat in its tail
It could also be these cape dwarf gecko that are active during the day and during winter and summer. This one has no tail probably because I rescued it from one of the cats
Oops! Posted in the community by accident, that wasn't the plan
Never mind, we are also partial to the creatures that live in the garden and hide under the pots
I like the predators and pollinators, the pests: nice to look at but not clean up after them. I really like snails but have to seriously reduce the numbers - they are massively destructive to succulents
Mass-murdering the snails does get gross! Why not try beer traps: let them die happy
True, the problem is that there are indigenous species of snails that do no harm that you don't want to exterminate indiscriminately. It's the invasive common garden snails that are the problem
I'm hoping that the coming el Nino curbs the rampant breeding of the last three seasons
I'm sure it will. Snails actually need it to rain a lot to become active
Traps tend to kill everything, which you don't want
