Can anyone tell me if you get geckos in Sydney? I may be moving there and hate the things!!?

Question

I don't hate them when they are outside and leave me alone. I am from Durban, South Africa and am tired of them living in my house, in my cupboards, on my curtains etc. You just never know when one is going to run out under your feet or fall on you from the ceiling.

Answer 1

I've never seen a gecko in my life while living in Sydney.. You will see the occasional lizards in gardens.. but you hardly will..

Answer 2

I moved from Sydney to Brisbane, after 10 years, and had never seen any before I arrived in Brisbane, so guess they are not in Sydney.

Answer 3

You will occasionally find them in suburbs with a lot of bush around.

Answer 4

It is a bit cold for them down there. I can't believe you hate them, I think they are beautiful.

Answer 5

I live here and never seen one in my life. you'll find lizards tho

Answer 6
