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!

About This Item

His Limousine

Geckos are unique among lizards in their vocalizations, making chirping sounds in social interactions with other geckos. Gekkonidae is the largest family of lizards, with over 2000 different species worldwide and many others likely yet to be discovered. The name stems from the Indonesian/Javanese word Tokek, inspired by the sound these animals make.

All geckos, excluding the Eublepharinae subfamily, have no eyelids and instead have a transparent membrane which they lick to clean. Many species will, in defense, expel a foul-smelling material and feces onto their aggressors. There are also many species that will drop their tails in defense, a process called autotomy. Many species are well known for their specialized toe pads that enable them to climb smooth and vertical surfaces, and even cross indoor ceilings with ease (one hypothesis explains the ability in terms of the van der Waals force). These antics are well-known to people who live in warm regions of the world, where several species of geckos make their home inside human habitations. These species (for example the House Gecko) become part of the indoor menagerie and are often welcome guests, as they feed on insects, including mosquitoes.

Hi! I'm sorry but I did not see this trackable in "Snow White Guard" (GC2T84Y)

This link will show you how to mark your trackable as "missing" for now. http://support.groundspeak.com/index.php?pg=kb.page&id=152 This is very helpful for cachers and cache owners alike. Thank you.

I found the Snow White geocache today. I verified that there are NO trackables / travelbugs in this cache at all. I regret telling you that it appears this one may be missing. This was previously reported by a cacher named chaosmanor on 2/14/2012.

Normally I log TB's as "grabbed from ...." but with its unusually sticky hands/paws/feet this one actually grabbed me! I'll send it along its way somewhere neat, don't lizards prefer heat and humidity to the mountains?
