Today, I needed the toilet in the night. Walking through my pitch black house barefoot, I felt something squish beneath my heel. Thinking it was a morsel of previously dropped food, I turned on the light to clean it up. My eyes met a twitching gecko body, with a flattened, exploded head. FML

This is OP here. Firstly, I live in Oxfordshire, England as of now but I used to live in Singapore, which is tropical, so geckos were everywhere, inside and out - especially as our house had a relatively wild and unkempt garden. They weren't any trouble at all and the only ways of keeping them out of the house were cruel, so yeah they were just all over the walls and floors. This is when the FML happened. Secondly, it's not outlandish to assume someone may have dropped a bit of food on the floor is it? Surely more likely than a ******* gecko head. And yes I agree the true FML is for the gecko...twas a tragic night :(

I have small kids. Dropped food is more than just a possibility here. Thankfully the only animals invading the house are insects or (harmless yet scary looking) spiders.

I'm more confused as to how a gecko even survived outside a vivarium, in England long enough to be squished. We don't have the temperatures or the humidity for it.

You know, it IS possible to have a very clean house and still accidentally drop a piece of food on the floor sometimes. What else would you think it was when you can't see anything? You would automatically think gecko head when walking through your house in the middle of the night in England?

I'm afraid to walk through my house in the dark now.. I would have just broken down in tears right then and there. Poor thing!

Where did a gecko come from in the UK where you come from? They are not indigenous there?
