Description: Gecko succumbs to Brown House Snake Having seen these Geckos fight each other, boldly attack large Mantids and even eat their young, I was surprised at the passivity of this individual when caught by the snake. It made no effort to fight back or bite, just hung there on the wall in the snake's jaws, waiting to be swallowed. I tried not to look into his eyes
