So India has what I would call lizards, but is actually very small and probably a gecko. I'm not an expert on reptiles so I don't really know what the difference is. I was first introduced to these creatures at around 4 am when we arrived at our dorm and I saw one climbing on the wall of the hallway. I thought that's gross and I wish that I hadn't seen it, but at least it's not in my room.
A few days later I saw one outside my door and was a little creeped out, but again thought at least it's not in my room. Then on Saturday I believe I saw the first one in my room by my shoes. I freaked out a little and it was super fast and got away before I could tell where it went. I kind of forgot about it thinking it either left my room or was eating bugs and as long as I couldn't see it I was fine. Over the next few days I would spot it randomly in my closet, then in the window, and I saw it outside both of my doors. (I assume there are multiple even though I'd like to think it was only 1).
Anyway today I spotted an even smaller one on the floor in the middle of my room. I would forget about it and then all of a sudden see something move out of the corner of my eye and freak out a bit. I didn't want to try and catch it because I don't really have anything to catch it in. I didn't want to kill it because I didn't want to have to deal with the dead squished thing, so I left it alone and watched it crawl around. Then it crawled on my backpack and I freaked out a bit and pretty much picked up everything off the floor that it could crawl in and forgot about it for the most part until I saw it move somewhere in the room.
So just as I was thinking maybe it left my room finally and I was putting my stuff away to go to bed I felt something crawl on my foot. I shook my foot and the little lizard went flying to the ground. Now I was freaking out. It is now midnight and I have a freaking lizard in my room that can crawl into bed with me so what do I do. I first threw a shoe at it, which only drove it under my bed and wasn't very helpful. Then I looked up things to do online and everywhere said they are fine and not to hurt it, etc. I was very close to wanting to kill it (but still didn't want to have to deal with the dead thing) when I saw it go out from under my bed toward to door outside. I then decided to be brave and open the door outside and shoo it out with my shoe. It worked and the lizard went outside.
Then I was still very creeped out and jumpy and a small little insect landed on my arm and I freaked out and jumped a mile so I decided to go get my bug spray and I sprayed it all over me, on the floor around my bed, by each of my doors, and the windows. Now I know that this probably won't do anything, but it makes me feel better. Now it's about 12:40 am and so about 40 minutes since I had the lizard crawling in my bed so while I'm still really creeped out I do need to go to bed.
So I hope that you found a little humor in my adventure with the lizard and I hope that tomorrow I would find that same humor. Also hopefully this story makes sense, but if it doesn't know that I'm tired and jumpy and will now hopefully be able to fall asleep.
