my friend

this is my roommate. i?m not sure for definite but i think he?s a ghecko. he?s a bit shy and often runs away from me but it?s still nice to have him around. he doesn?t have a name yet though. any ideas?

Also, I?ve just heard that if you pull their tail, it will fall off as they run away. It?s a defence mechanism apparently. poor thing.
