[QUOTE="kingofnobbys, post: 1938592, member: 81934"] No not at all unheard of , even in big cities ( esp the newer suburbs and suburbs near creeks, rivers, and bushland and natural parks , and near still existing farms). The further north you live the more common geckos are , and they are frequently found in and around homes ( and take full advantage of the insects drawn to lit windows , and outdoor lighting and indoor lighting ), a lot of people will have a resident colony of wild geckos living inside their homes without being aware they are there ( they will mistake the geckos chirping for birds, possums, bats, frogs and even mice ) and might not even notice the geckos because they aren't looking for them or looking at the lights and outsides of lit up windows, meanwhile the resident wild geckos get about making use of the nice warm and safe humans'' homes and learn the hours the humans keep and only come out when the resident humans are in bed. When we were living in Port Hedland ( far NW = Pilbara coast ) we had several geckos in the apartment who were great moth and insect hunters , often taking on moths who were near as big as they were , even had a few fly off holding onto a moth they wanted to eat. We also get skinks and dragons and frogs , in my case I regularly have wild water skinks move in and take up residence in my home ( I encourage them to stay by leaving a water dish for them and tossing them the occasional meal worm or cricket ). I've had encounters with about 4 species of geckos , 7 species of skink , 3 species of dragon, one lace monitor , and 3 or 4 species of frog just in my own yard. The water skinks, delicate skinks, and geckos are most likely to visit indoors . I have had a wild bluetongue on my front patio when it's sunny to bask , my pet tame captive bred eastern bluetongues get very excited when this happens if they are on the floor and spot it through the window or screen door. The water dragon shows up there sometimes too. In summer I have warn guests not to leave open bags on the floor, as very inquisitive wild skinks find an open hang bag or shoulder bag or shopping bag irresistible . [/QUOTE]
