Squatter finally evicted.

At last! After three unsuccessful weeks, I've finally caught the gecko that had taken up residence. When it was first spotted in the lounge, it was expected to remain there, no chance. It's been throughout the house including upstairs.
I was quite fearful of injuring it in the process, particularly not catching the very fragile tail. A clear glass pyrex mixing bowl and an A4 card to slide under once covered with the bowl did the job admirably. Released fully intact.

Well done. I rather like them and don't mind them in the house - although I did take exception to one which decided to sit on the wall just above my bed!  He had to be safely removed before I retired for the night!

The biggest concern was one of the cats catching it, thankfully they've been thwarted.

I went into this thread very concerned! 

Congrats on dealing with your unwelcome visitor so kindly. I absolutely love them, but they're not something you want to share a living space when they are wild. Three weeks is a long time to worry about finding a wild lizard about the house.

Housemates for three weeks and there's not a single photo attached        

Thanks Milestone for sharing with us and catching the little guy in one piece
