SMILEY GECKO ENJOYS HIS VIEW FROM THE TOP

Enjoying life’s little pleasures is something that many struggle to do. But this gecko certainly knows how to make the most out of life, as he showed when he happily clung on to the top of his favourite branch, showing off the massive grin on his face. After a hard day of relaxing, eating crickets and sunbathing under his heat lamp, this little fella decided it was time to take a climb up his most loved apparatus. After reaching the top and surveying his surroundings, this gecko obviously felt a spark of happiness, and let it show with a wide smile plastered across his face. The photograph, taken by photographer Christopher Schlaf, 50, in his friend’s cellar, show how this reptile holds tightly onto his most beloved branch inside his cage while giving a cheeky grin right on cue for the camera
