Man - 0, Gecko - 1
I happen to really like Geckos -- they are cute, eat a lot of bugs and generally stay out of my way.
A man was collecting Geckos to feed his pet snake and the outcome was not a good one. From
news.com.au:
Gecko hunt ends in death fall
A 21-year-old man who was out in the middle of the night hunting geckos to feed a pet snake has died after falling 45m down a disused sewer shaft in Sydney.
The Daceyville man's body was recovered this morning from the former sewerage outlet below a Malabar headland in Sydney's eastern suburbs, police said.
Inspector Eddy Bosch said the man and his mate had been out collecting geckos in the area about 2.45am (AEST) today when one of them fell about 45m down the shaft leading to a former sewage outlet.
“They have walked past a cement structure which had a door in it,” Insp Bosch told Southern Cross Broadcasting.
“One of the fellows has gone through that door and stepped into the structure and has unfortunately stepped into a disused shaft and he's fallen down that shaft.”
Ouch!
