I've never had C. atrox, always wanted to though, love that banded tail!

[Elliot]

The two most common reptiles here have to be ground skinks and house geckos. There used to be a lot of green anoles here but in the past few years their numbers have tapered off.

I wonder why?

[Elliot]

Well I've seen more geckos and less anoles during this time, even though the geckos are nocturnal and the anoles are diurnal I suspect that the growing gecko population may have something to do with it.

[adamanteus]

What is the gecko? Hemidactylus frenatus?

[Elliot]

Yup, that's them exactly. They are everywhere outside!

[adamanteus]

It may be that they're competing for the same prey species.

[Elliot]

That's what I've thought, it kinda sucks because I like the anoles more lol. When we first moved here there were tons of anoles but not a single gecko!

[adamanteus]

I like Anolis too. They're great little lizards.

[Elliot]

We used to keep them when I was little, they even mated! The egg didn't hatch though.
