I like the idea.
When I was a kid I lived in the Philippines, and they had abundant populations of lizards, including geckos that had disposable tails, smallish garishly colored bodies, and huge heads with tiny needle-like teeth. I recall them being up to a foot long with the tail.
I would hear them at night...”EEEEH OHHH...(long pause)...EEEEEH OHHHHH!”
Whenever I saw one of these, I would attempt to capture it. They were terrifically interesting, but quite dangerous looking with that big head and mouth.
I would attempt to knock them from the overhead then grab them by the neck right behind the head. A broom worked to knock them to the ground, but I recall they easily would avoid a stick.
While holding them by the neck (with that big mouth wide open threateningly) I would put other bugs into its mouth to see what would happen when it clamped down. I would place its body on a window or a jar to see if it could latch on and support lifting the jar from the ground with those cool feet (it could)
One day at school, during shop class, I saw one on the overhead just outside Mr. Stauffer’s class. I grabbed a broom and swiped at it while I stood directly underneath it...it fell...and landed on my face.
In terror and panic, I shook my head violently, throwing my black plastic BCD glasses (Birth Control Device) about five yards away.
When they landed, the gecko was firmly attached to the glasses!
Did the gecko get to keep the glasses?
I used to super-glue thread to the backs of flies and then take them for a walk around the neighborhood.
