Been hearing bumps and other tell tale sounds coming from the gap behind the lounge and from in the dining area for a few weeks , was blaming these on the resident G.Dudia "house" geckos who've colonised the house ( bedrooms, study , kitchen , yet they are vocal little geckos, often churp at us when we disturb their sleep during the day , and overnight we often , churp , churp-churp-churp , males aren't as chatty ) , til I spotted the cheaky little juvenile water skink trotting across the lino this afternoon.
Here it is, about 6mth - 9mths old I think ( about the same Cheakie was when he started visiting inside , and same size Lucky was when I rescued him , maybe 10" TTS and 8g - 12g.
Now I know the little skink is in residence I'm put a plastic lid water dish down for it , and will be leaving a few deheaded mealworms on a rnd tub lid to help encourage it to stay. I'm expecting the geckos will disappear the worms o/night when they discover the new feeding station and wont mind the water for drinking and bathing either.
I also know who Caesar has been obsessing over when having floor fun time, Cleo too. The BTS don't care ( tend to ignore smaller skinks - too old to be bothered now ).
Cleo even armwaved at it this afternoon, alternative arm wave mode , got a kurt couple of head flicks in response.
I now know for sure where the rogue crickets have been going , geckos at night , juvie water skink during day.
