Default Gecko shit

We have quite a few ants in the house......as do most people here.

today I found, what I think is, some pieces of Gecko shit.

Within a few minutes the ants were all over it

I always wondered what the ants ate in the house.....now I think I know

Just thought you would like to know

We get quite a few geckos in the house, but until your post I had never contemplated their shit and the fact that they obviously would excrete. I'm not sure I want to think about this any more

i'm always picking up Gecko poop. I don't hold it against them though as i love the little critters!!

The ants, though, we have had more than usual over the last few weeks so you may be onto something.
The ants here are hardcore, carry away huge cockroaches, bugs and cane toads...the other week we had a dead water dragon in the pool (again)! and we plopped the poor thing onto the grass, the next thing we knew there was an army of ants coming over and later that day the water dragon had gone!!!

FEAR THE ANTS!!!!

Same....we had geckos everywhere and I can't ever recall seeing anything I thought would be gecko shit....but I guess they must!

Maybe it does get eaten buy the ants before you have a chance to see it.

I knew I shouldn't come back to this thread - now I'm going to be looking for black marks on the wall and spending more time than is good for me thinking about it - it should have remained one of life's little mysteries

Our geckos never stay in the house long enough to crap anywhere. If we see them first they get caught and taken outside. If the cats see them its then a race between them and us as to who gets them first.......

No idea what gecko poo looks like

I haven't really but I can't see what else it could be.......it seems to appear where the Geckos hang out.

whatever it is the ants seem to love it

We have Geckos in the house, but have not seen much poo from them, I think the previous owners must have house trained them

We don't kick them out, they are excellent for eating the bugs that can get into house, despite the fly screens. We like the little buggers too, they add character to the house, like a nice old painting....

Do Gecko's make a noise? I have seen a few small gecko's outside the house and get the occasional one in the house. I keep hearing a "tut tut tut" like sound outside but when I look I can't see what is making the noise but there is usually a Gecko about. It's driving me mad as I don't know what it is. Any ideas?
