In article <6661@blue.cis.pitt.edu.UUCP>, broadley@neurocog.lrdc.pitt.edu (Bill Broadley) says: > > >It sounds good to me, but I have a dog who I don't think would catch >the gecco but wouldn't want to be poisened if the dog did. > If your dog is good in crawling vertical walls, he *might* catch the gecko, but I'll doubt it. They are *really* shy. Seriously, they are quite common around here (Italy and Southern Europe in general), never heard of a problem. Actually a friend of mine is living with dog and gecko for years now and one cat in our house regularly catches (and eats) other lizards, no problems so far. >Are gecco's poisoness? Anyone use one for such purposes? Any other >suggestions for predators for bugs that could live in a house easily? > Spiders are good in controlling flies, but not to everyones taste. On my side of our house lifes a family of bats -> no mosquitoes. Bats have the advantage of great entertainment value too :) mike -- Mike M. Skala mskala@esrin.bitnet
