My Western Banded Gecko Lizard Experience

It was kind of funny to enter our garage the other day and find this little lizard just sitting there. That is the one thing about having a home in the desert, you never know what you are going to encounter. Apparently this little guy thought he had a good camouflage going on, but it didn't work, and as cute as he was, he had to go back outside to his natural habitat. 

My husband scooped him up with a dust pan and took him outside. Our curiosity got the best of us, so we tried to look online to see if we could figure out what kind of lizard this was. It had a rather strange look, at least one that we had never seen, so we were determined to figure it out. The best that we could come up with is the Western Banded Gecko Lizard. The description and the area in which these lizards are found seemed to fit, so that is what we are going with. 

I thought our "Lizard Experience" was over, but the next day we found this cute little guy right back in the same spot. Obviously, he found our garage to be the perfect home, but we had a better plan. We decided to take him back outside, a little further this time, to a spot better suited for him. He hasn't been back yet, so hopefully that is the end of it, but some how I wouldn't be surprised if he shows up again.
