You are right about worse than snakes in the home. Only people who have geckos or dragons know I even have them. When I first got them, my wife insisted I keep them in the garage. Finally, she agreed to let me bring them in the house. Now they live in my basement. If I wanted to, I know I could easily become the "roach guy" and supply anyone in my area with them, but I keep my colony manageable.
BTW, my ASF's love them too as a treat. The only down side is I've become allergic to them. My wife now has to pull the feeders. I've read that it is not unusual to develop allergies. So, don't stir them up too much.
