Just when you think you have seen/heard it all.......

In our family, spiders were female and individuals were called Helen (after a children's book that featured a spider called Helen).

Probably scientifically correct - the big ones are usually females.

[Slasher]

All spiders ants roaches and other wildlife are killed dead if found in our home. Excess geckos are shown the door.

You Australian brute...

The females generally eat their mates.

I live in a house dominated by females. At the top of the hierarchy is my better half, underneath that are (were, one them has died) two bitches, outside my study is the female spider who has just digested her mate and a long way underneath that is me...

C'est la vie...

Slasher:
How many geckos before you have an excess?

PP

[Slasher]

The ones that sh!t in the cupboards.

Usual approved allotment is:

2 in the kitchen
1 in the lounge room
1 in the dining room
1 in the granny flat
1 in each bedroom (x5)

Total 10. One more is permitted if he hangs around with his buddy.

The garage is unrestricted for gecko habitation.

[PHXPhlyer]

Are they restricted to their rooms or are they allowed to fraternize?

Our gecks do fine with the bugs available and don’t need to team up nor wander around having parties and pissups with the other residents. Maybe Thai ones like being loners I don’t know.

Look, we all now know that you are Gecko murderer. Get over it. We never will!

[Slasher]

No I show ‘em to the door man. They are a bloody useful lot and help keep the house bug population down. Just they sh!t in our cupboards. Plus don’t forget I’m married to a Buddhist mate and not allowed to squish or shoot things willy nilly.

Garden gnome invasions are another thing entirely. But that’s more like defensive culling. Well...yeh ok...wanton mass murder!

[TheGreenGoblin]

Man I am not with Ted Nugent on this *****. I will not see gnomes shot! Period.

And that episode with the Bouquet woman pisses me off... But hell firing a gun for fun is fun...

[Sisemen]

Our geckos all stay outside. Maybe it’s an Australian thing, wide outdoors and all that. The cats get the occasional one.

I trust you don't kill geckos?

[Slasher]

Our gecks in N Thailand are happy looking guys and much shorter than the Toodyay specie.

[Sisemen]

Kill them? Perish the thought.

[TheGreenGoblin]

Kill them? Perish the thought.

You RAF brute. You would have immolated half of Europe if you could have...

[llondel]

Do any of your geckos sell insurance?

[PHXPhlyer]

I'm glad someone finally went there. Wasn't gonna be me.

For all those who hate these little blokes...

Don’t kill ‘em though - lawyers greenies taxmen and other pests yes but not lizzies who perform a valuable service to us and Nature.

Rats and mice*:

Mice are the type who tippy toe and say “don’t get up. am just going to the fridge if that’s ok?” Where possible escorted outside. Otherwise a quick painless death.

Rats are pure nazi-tattooed skinheads. “Oi! I’m goin’over and eatin’ what’s in yer f**kin’ fridge orright!”. Sentence: painful DEATH by any means possible.

* Vermin behavior may differ country to country.

[John Hill]

Who has geckos that ***** on the floor or in the cupboards? Our geckos were very tidy and always carried a little trowel to stick their turds to the ceiling, well out of the way.
