2. Sorry.
That's a Green Anole (Anolis carolinensis) not a Phelsuma Day Gecko (Phelsuma guttata).

4. Nope, just a lizard geek.
I actually suck at science. I'm more of the English/theatre geek. A science geek would not have no serious scientific books, but a bookcase of plays and poetry. I think I'm one of the few geeks that actually owns both volumes of the Shakespeare Lexicon (defines every word Shakespeare ever used).

6. Well, you're a lizard geek with an impressive knowledge of taxonomy!
Which is pretty cool! :thumbsup: A fascination with animals is what drew me to biology so I can understand.

8. I had to cheat on the gecko's taxonomy.
Although it's slightly geeky to be able tell different kinds of day geckos apart.

7. Nah, it mostly just applies to reptiles. Slightly to the arts.
Aren't the lounge lizards just adorable?

Their names are Stumpy, Spot, Killer (left to right).

I think a few DUers can vouch that I'm really not a geek.
