FOR: BillApocGreen -

Do you have a picture of yourself in the gecko costume? I've never seen a 'live' version of him.

One insurance company wouldn't cover my family because we have a German Shepherd.

Who knows. We havn't rediscovered every day gecko species yet so perhaps some time we'll find a species that matches "The Gecko" perfectly.

I think God should make some Geico Geckos so Geico has a scientific name for him. :p

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

(lol!!!)

I agree. They probably got the idea from a day gecko...and let animation take over the design from there...

No, no names that i'm aware of. it's weird you would think we'd have some thing like that but everyone just calls him Gecko. I've got to wear the suit a few times and even then we have to be referred to as Gecko by the associates who are with us.

Not an austrailian accent, a suburb of London.

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.

[quote]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.

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.[/quote]

You, sir, just made me laugh out loud.

I know in Reptiles they had a section on it. They think it's different kinds of lizards mixed together.[/qu

Yep just like bill love said.

It looks like an anole not a gecko to me.

that was very wrong just by looking at its orange spots you can tell it is obviously a day gecko.

Ratsnake — Sat, 25 Oct 2008 10:04:00 GMT

It's obviously based on a day gecko. The Australian accent puzzles me, though.

That's exactly what some people thought when I answered that same question in my Herpetological Queries column in REPTILES a few months ago. Actually, the TV gecko seems patterned from several types of day geckos. A juvenile giant day gecko seems proportioned more like Gigi (= "GG", Geico Gecko) than an adult.

RE: Geico Gecko

Ragtatter — Fri, 24 Oct 2008 17:31:55 GMT

He's definitely something in the Phelsuma genus.
