Random Question, Do you think they insure you If you have snakes or other reptiles because I have heard that some insurance companies don't insure you if you have reptiles

Some companies do drop clients that try to use insurance because of reptile related injuries so if you get attacked by your 13ft burm & have to go to the doctor just say your wife beat you up.

I think Geico is an auto insurance company only, so your query doesn't really apply to them.

We actually insure all types of insurance. Life, Boat, House, Car, Renters, Commercial, Snowmobile, Classic Car, anything really. You name it we can do it. (I'm an Sales Agent for Geico). I do believe that you can be canceled from you home insurance or renters insurance from any animal attack claim. As far as the Geico Gecko goes I still have no idea why the accent came along, but the company that designed the gecko used a bunch of different species to put him together.

I wasn't aware that Geico was a full-line insurance company --- I stand corrected.  It's nice to learn something new every day.  Just curious - do Geico employees have a cute, in-house, 'pet' name for the gecko?

Here's another beautiful day gecko that I see parts of in the Geico gecko.  This is an ornate day gecko [Phelsuma ornata] from Round Island near Mauritius.

Well, I'm pretty sure that the Geico Gecko is an animated creature, and probably has the specific name of The Gecko Geico made on a fancy computer program
