I think these are gecko eggs in our garage door lock. They don't need much room!

Re: Where do tree frogs and gecko's go during the day
Most evenings as i sit on my patio im accompanied by a number of different gecko's my kids have names for them all and we really enjoy their company.
We also have a few different tree frogs who come and say hello as well. My kids are so thrilled to see these but keep asking me where they go during the day and im stumped as i dont know.
As its heading towards the wet season up in Darwin we are certainly seeing more of the tree frogs and they are not bothered by us going up to them.
the other night i had one sat on my drinks fridge while i went and got a drink out.
Tonight while i let the dog out for his late night pee i had a frog follow me around the path, my daft dog never seems to notice them or if he does he is not interested in them.
So does any one know where my visitors are likely to be during the day?

I suspect geckos sleep, somewhere private, during the day. The ones at our place do seem to go to some lengths to demonstrate that they do not sleep at night.

I get lots of Asian House Geckos in and around my place. I can hear one chirping in the bathroom as I type this!
They've been known to hide in electrical equipment and short it out, even causing fires as a result, as well as frying themselves in the process.
I get Graceful Tree Frogs, White-lipped Tree Frogs, Northern Wood Frogs and Eastern Sedge Frogs out the back of my place; as others have said, they hide in cool, often damp, places during the day.
