After a long and exhausting day, all I wanted was to come home, kick off my shoes, and enjoy a peaceful evening.
The universe had other plans.
I walked into my bedroom, tossed my bag on the chair, and froze. There, beside the leg of my bed frame, sat two small white objects that looked completely out of place.
What followed was a mixture of confusion, concern, curiosity, and ultimately appreciation for a tiny creature sharing our home.
The Backstory: How Lizard Eggs End Up in Your Home
Many homeowners are surprised to learn that certain lizard species frequently live alongside humans.
House geckos, in particular, are common visitors in warm climates because homes provide:
- Shelter from predators
- Stable temperatures
- Protection from weather
- Easy access to insects
Female geckos often seek quiet, protected locations to lay their eggs.
Common nesting spots include:
- Behind furniture
- Under beds
- Inside storage areas
- Behind appliances
- Near wall crevices
- Inside garages and sheds
To a gecko, these locations offer safety and stability for developing eggs.
