Geckos, like other reptiles, have specialist needs including controlled temperature and humidity

A second gecko in two weeks has accidentally been brought back to Swansea from a holiday.

The small lizard was found in a suitcase after a trip to Spain and taken to Llys Nini Animal Centre.

The RSPCA said it was most likely a Moorish gecko, also known as a common wall gecko, which can grow up to 15cm (6in).

Last month a couple from Swansea found a tiny gecko in their luggage after returning from the Caribbean.
