Day Gekos are my favourite:

You ever kept any herps, Parker?
As a kid I wasn't allowed to have pets---still didn't keep me from keeping box turtles, garter snakes, ringneck snakes, earth snakes, black snakes, snapping turtles, sliders, frogs of various sorts, dusky and spotted salamanders, and baby birds. Thanks to me, there is a population of Am. Toads in my parents back yard.
As man (a black man), herps (snakes, frogs, lizards) are known to keep the punani away.
