busy"exodus is hungry and smart. he had a little trouble with the first (very unfortunate) cricket, which stayed trapped in his jaws, kicking pathetically for several minutes (and i mean like... ten) until he eventually got frustrated and digested him whole. thereafter, he seemed to discover that the trick to disabling a cricket is to either trap or remove the hind legs. the next 2 crickets were hunted quickly and died quickly. exodus then crawled under some newsprint, where he is now chillin'.
oh - and the guy at a reptile store down in mesa suggested that he's probably a mediterranean gecko, in case youre interested. :o)"
not actually my hand, obviously, and exodus is a little lighter-colored, but other than that it's close.

we signed a lease this morning on a 2nd-story end-unit in a north scottsdale complex called crown court. 8.5/10 on the "nice place" scale. at 26 years old, i am on my first lease ever; and so i sacrifice my off-the-grid lifestyle for stability, and a dining-room view of the complex's back pool.
