⌛ Beware the Tukaw gecko!

If you want to get one out of you house because he makes too much noise and shits on everything...

Watch out....

They bite hard and they won't let go.

 

Marky; Can you tell us what Tukaw gecko is? Thanks.

 

Its a gecko that grows to over a foot long that makes that strange "TUKAW.......TUKAW........TUKAW"
noise at night.

 

If they die in the house, behind a bookcase, or in a sofa for example, you'll know they're there....Annoying dead or alive...

 

"Annoying dead or alive!"

I want that on my tombstone.

 

I know now what you meant. We called that "tuko", a spotted lizard (much bigger than the ordinary lizard). It sounds like this ... tuko ....tuko...tuko. ..not tukaw (lol).

 

Ours must have an accent..

Cause they sound like Tukaw to me.

 

OK, my Wife says its Tuko, and she should know, she speaks the language.

 

There's a Filipino belief I heard of in Bacong that having a gecko in the house means good luck financially. And if you kill them inside your house it's bad luck...

 

If I killed him he wouldn't have bit me, but being the nice guy that I am, I was simply "relocating" the fine little fellow to a spot more appreciative to his nocturnal cantabile.
