Stowaway gecko makes 2,000-mile journey from Greece to Derbypublished at 15:10 British Summer Time 23 October 2020

BBC NewsA globe-trotting gecko has been found in a car roof box in Derby, several weeks after the family arrived home from their holiday to Greece.
Gillian Cartwright and husband Mike Soumelidis had been visiting family in mainland Greece last month and began their 14-day quarantine on their return home to Oakwood.
However, they had no idea they had managed to bring back a stowaway until they cleared out the roof box three weeks later.
Image source, RSPCARSPCA inspector Helen Mead said the lizard, which is smaller than a 2p coin, is believed to be a baby and could have hatched in the roof box.
“This adventurous lizard certainly went on quite a journey all the way to Derby, then to live for three weeks unnoticed is quite something," she said.
“There were quite a number of dead bugs inside so it appears the little gecko had managed to have quite a feast on his 2,000-mile journey and it must have adapted to the shelter provided by the roof box.
It has now been taken to a reptile centre until a permanent home can be found with a specialist keeper.
