About This Sponsored Trackable:
Helping millions of people save money with GEICO's great insurance rates can be a demanding job for a Gecko. Like many of us, the GEICO Gecko is ready to get out of the office and soak up some sun while experiencing spectacular places around the world (well, rain or shine). You can help the Gecko get a little R&R by aiding his travel from cache to cache. Be sure to show him the great views along the way!
This trackable Gecko is provided by GEICO as part of the "Find the Gecko Sweepstakes." Simply fill out the entry form and you could win a Magellan eXplorist GC GPS unit, one of the most popular GPS devices for geocaching! There will be one unit given away each week for 20 weeks. Enter each week to increase your chances!

Central Newt's mission is to boldly go where no newt has gone before....really anywhere and everywhere in the world!
Central Newt is a Geico TB release in June 2011. Central Newt got it's name from a creature I found this morning on a walk with my dogs. It was unlike any lizard/salamander I had seen before. Upon further investigation, I identified it as a Central Newt (Notophthalmus viridescens louisianensis).
Central Newt's habitat includes woodland ponds, swamps, ditches and it primarily eats insects, molluscs, crayfish and worms. The life cycle of this aquatic salamander is as follows; its eggs hatch into aquatic larvae that metamorphose into terrestrial efts, which then mature into aquatic newts. This is very unusual indeed. My experience of this facinating creature was when it was in the eft stage.
