A little visitor





I was loading rubbish into the skip we hired to clear away all the old building materials yesterday when I found this little bloke.
For the first time ever I find a lizard in my garden after spending my childhood in a place infested by skinks I find a gecko in Melbourne!!
Taking it as a good omen because Geckoes make appearances in my work
the first pic was taken just after I caught him, I kept him overnight to watch and sketch and he gradually changed pigmentation to a paler colour which makes me think he is a Marbled Gecko after doing a little research on the Museum of Vic Website
