Cecek in Sink

Pronounced Chechek. People call them gekko but They're tiny and all over behind the pictures on the walls and under cabinets. Wow - there's one getting a big something - spider?

They try to frantically when we try to help them with a piece of paper for them to climb on. There was a cecek in the sink the sink a few days ago. I just barely touched it's tail with a paper towel and the tail came off. I pushed it up and out from behind then watched the lone tail twitch rapidly for a minute then slow down to a stop like its battery had run out. We guess they'r going in for water. We'll leave some puddles out for them.
