“I first got my gecko, Lentil, about three years ago. My dad is allergic to lots of animals, so I wanted to get a gecko so that I could have a pet. I named her Lentil because she’s the color of a green lentil when she’s sleeping, and she’s the color of an orange lentil when she’s awake. She’s nocturnal, so I only get to see her before bedtime. She makes a lot of noise when I’m trying to sleep, but I love her very much.”
