Brings a whole new look to the term "gecko" doesn't it- especially with the size and nature of our national species.

How much would one of those guys weight?

I guess you'd know Macca!

They also have lists of the keepers who got tagged on the gecko's cages, and the dates it happened. That sign wasn't meant strictly as a joke - the geckos appear to be a tad short-tempered at times and not afraid to have a go at you.
