I have never posted here since I am more of a snake person but wanted to share a story with all of you about wild leopard geckos sightings while I was in Afghanistan. I was on patrol one day in Kandahar, Afghanistan and saw a yellowish colored lizard out of the corner of my eye so I went to investigate. I flipped over a large rock and sure enough, there sat a big ol male leo! I was so shocked at seeing one in the wild I was jumping around like a little kid! The other soldiers couldn't understand why I was freaking out about seeing what they called "just a stupid little lizard". I didn't get the chance to take a pic of him but I picked him for one quick second (took a bite to the thumb and the skin between my thumb and pointer finger) and let him go on his way.
Anyway, just wanted to share that.....
