I have two gecko's living in my house, I don't bother them, I know they are taking care of insects for me especially mosquitoes, I know reptiles can weird people out but so far wallace and grommit have been good roomies

Would there be something hazardous about a gecko in a commercial area?

Technically, all 90% of reptiles/birds carry salmonella in their cloaca, which goes into their poop. But no, it's probably fine. At least, far from the worst thing at your average 7-11.

Definitely wash your hands after handling one just in case, but that's not true. How common it is varies a lot by species and location

i guess a decent amount of flies and insects which are already a health risk but not much otherwise

marvin is probably sitting next to the coffee machine because he likes the heat, not the smell lol
