Gargantuitus
I'm getting a drink of water and this is on the widow ledge. I'm sure it's nothing exotic, but I've never seen it before. Some kind of salamander I reckon. Anyone know?

That's a Gold-striped Gecko. Very rare. They usually go for $12,000 - $15,000 on ebay.

Usually they only come that close to a human if they're rabid.

Blue skink. We have one that looks exactly like that in central NC. Lives under the stairs of our front porch and suns himself every morning on the steps. About the size of a Magnum cigar.
