In Nepal I shared my room with Boris, my pet spider who lived behind the mirror in my room.   Here I have Gertrude Ghekko - but perhaps she is some sort of lizard?

 She is very very shy and disappears behind an old notice board every time I come in the room and put on the light, so she is difficult to identify.  Gertrude moves VERY quickly and I keep dreaming of her falling on my face whilst the lights are off and I am asleep.
