night visitors

The newest bug to enter my room.

The boys brought home this huge piece of bamboo. I have learned a lot about bamboo.

 This is the gecko that comes into my room regularly. Here he is about to crawl in and do some hunting.

Later while laying in bed I heard this extremely close crunching noises. I sat up grabbed my light and he took off from behind my head board and ran up the wall to his corner.

I have been trying to catch how big he is by marking the walls.
I finally caught him. I was guessing 9 inches... I was under guessing!

He is a solid 12

After he ran up to his corner he moved over my window then cut across the ceiling over my head!

Although I am sure he is an expert climber my biggest concern was he was going to fall and cause a huge commotion on top of my mosquito net.

They jump. 

And thinking about how many bugs are stuck buzzing on the outside of my net made me wonder if he would make a leap for those ones who were sitting ducks.

After a filling meal he leaves for now only to return later.

There is about a 4 or 5 inch gap between my wall and the ceiling on the outside part of my wall. So they can easily come in and out there are also cracks and holes all over so there are multiple ways for creatures to come in and out as they please.
