    This AM my Daughter came to me and told me there's something smoking and sizzling in our storeroom where the electrical breaker box is.
    I go open the door of the breaker box, and theres a reptilian leg and bout 7 inches of tail hanging outside a missing breaker blank. I look inside and theres the smoking remnants of a big Tukaw Gecko, laying across the 220V bus bars. :(

    And man did he stink,... :mad::mad:

    The whole house stunk for hours! :mad::(:mad::(

    We fished him out in still warm pieces.:eek:

    Tip for today: Keep electrical panels closed.

    Yikes, that (was) a big fella, are they dangerous at that size? He would have did a slow burn in my box, I normally only get 160 V on a good day.
