Hello,
We just moved in Maui and 2 geckos were living in the house before we arrived.
I don't mind, I like to see them.
I have 2 young children, is it safe to keep the geckos inside or should I catch them to give their freedom outside ?
What do they eat ? or drink ? One is staying in my bedroom so no food or water in there ?
what should I do ?
Thanks

Keep the geckos in the house, they help bugs under control.Geckos are able to get moisture from the bugs they eat so don't worry.

Gecko's eat insects. There is usually enough water somewhere around for them to stay hydrated. It's good to have them in the house.If you haven't been yet, pop over to Momma's Fish House and look at the Gecko sidewalk. Enjoy.

ok, well, since they are wild geckos, i am guessing they are pretty popular in the nature around you area, what i would do is get a butterfly net, and catch them and set them free out side, inside the house they may have problems finding food and water, and also, i wouldnt want them elimating all over my house. can you imagine how much fear it could be to a young child waking up to something crawling on them? i would keep the butterfly net handy to because they may come back. they drink water , and eat any little critter smaller than themselves. including spiders, crickets, ect. its better for them to be out side any way. and if they are that frequent in your area, heck they may stop in from a open window or a crack in your door alot. but i would just shoo them back out, and admire them in their natural habitat.

The ONLY thing I'd worry about those geckos is- that your kids might harm them. Left undisturbed- they're harmless, & will even do you the benefit of eating any insects they find around the house (They're MURDER on cockroaches & crickets!). They're shy, pretty clean, and make interesting "conversation pieces" when Company stops in. Since they "follow" their food source (bugs), they'll find their way OUT of your house- if you keep it too clean. :)

They will find food and help with bugs in the house. Just leave them be.

Geckos will bite you on the butt while you sleep. Didn't you know that?

Hmm..maybe I'm biased..but I hate the thought of critters living in my house or anyone's house, that isn't in a cage. I would recommend getting rid of them..

Where will they poop if they live in your house?
