Hidden in full view.

A gecko lizard on a stair riser camouflaged to the colour of the sisal carpet runner. This was taken on my iPhone just after midnight. The lizard is only about 8cm (3in) long with another 5cm (2in) for the sacrificial tail.

Thanks for the much appreciated comments. I didn’t so much “spot” it as hear it as it scampered down the stairs.

@olivetreeann @pdulis
The gecko was smart enough to hide on the step riser and not the tread. Very smart. Thanks for the much appreciated comments.

Haven’t seen it since. It must have left the same way it came in …. under the big gap at the bottom of the front door!!
