This was to be a fight to the finish! The players were in the ring and ready to go! Tension amongst the audience was high! Some were rooting for the Jackson, others for the Gecko! Jackson and the Gecko stood in opposing corners!
Jackson vs. the Gecko
Now you see the reason that this is Jackson vs. the Gecko is because the Jackson eats the Geckos. Jackson moves in.
Jackson on the defensive
Jackson comes out full guns, exposing his flared out throat in a challenge!
Jackson full guns
Jackson moves in for the kill! The audience is in a state of suspense! Then, suddenly, a huge figure moves in. The audience, you can just hear them, let out a roar of surprise! Intervention occurs and the Gecko sighs in relief as he has been spared one more day. The Jackson runs off yelling, “Drats!”
Before I intervene
“Next time,” the Jackson thinks to himself!

That’s a Green anole n a big Madegascan day gecko, isn’t it?? How come they’re both wandering about. Are they escapees?? I have house geckos loose n breeding parthengenetically.. in behind the furniture in the front room. Also, today I recaptured one of my electric blue geckos, that I hadn’t even realised was out n about!! No cats at the moment [ :(( ] , so it’s relatively safe if they do get out.. though it’s not encouraged.
It is the Madagascar, or Gold Dust Day Gecko. They are wild in nature in Hawai’i. The other is a Jackson lizard who was hunting the Gecko! Thanks for the comment!
Ahh, the reknowned n very famous Jackson lizard..!!
Very cute write up. Good that the Gecko made it!
