Losing his grip

.
Surprise surprise! I turned on the light and found this little guy trying in vain to climb out of my bathroom sink.

After taking a video of his brave and energetic but futile efforts, I gave him a boost up and out.
He ran behind the washing machine. Fine with me.
He is welcome to stay.

The fly swatter made a pretty pattern for Shadow Shot Sunday and my little animal friend is good for Camera-Critters.

To see a big green perfectly camouflaged outdoor-type chameleon, click here.
And one which lost half its tail is here. And another whatever-they-are-called on my ceiling.

UPDATE! Wikipedia has a whole very interesting article about the Mediterranean house gecko or more commonly Turkish Gecko as it is represented in its Latin name Hemidactylus turcicus.

UPDATE 2016:  National Geographic's explanation on the gecko's difficulty in the sink.
