    Ah, I’m an elf from the woodlands (rainy part of PNW), not familiar with them personally.

    I did once trek east toward Mordor and freeze up and slowly retreated from an aggrevated rattlesnake in the badlands… can’t say I ever saw a gecko though.

    … But I have seen a good number of newts back home. They can be … mildly neurotoxic, but they thankfully tend to stay in their bogs and such.

      You mostly see them in the evening on houses near light sources (because bugs). I used to always enjoy watching them on my bathroom and kitchen windows as a kid. Now I get to save the babies from my cats on a regular basis.

      It’s fairly uncommon for adults to make it inside, so I’m betting OP’s biggest issue is an insect infestation.
