When my cat ate one, she always left the skull though. I was always finding little triangular heads on the floor. BTW, I was in Oki last week and didn't hear any chirping. I was actually dissapointed!<br /><br />Mike - was that Zukeran?Okispicehttps://www.blogger.com/profile/06875556790499833172noreply@blogger.comtag:blogger.com,1999:blog-3489982720297860024.post-21486337032448539482009-07-17T04:44:48.961-07:002009-07-17T04:44:48.961-07:00They do chirp.

My wife and I were stationed on island from 1973 to late 1974. I was assigned to 62d MP Company, Camp Sukiran (where the USMC MP Desk now is located). She made "friends" with the geckos while living in on post quarters near the back gate of Futenma Housing Area. We loved our time there!<br /><br />Mike Austing<br />Dennison, OH<br />US Army 1967-1981Anonymoushttps://www.blogger.com/profile/04284717145901071671noreply@blogger.com
