How We Conquered Supersized Geckos in Our Bali Home

Living in Bali comes with its fair share of adventures, but nothing prepared us for the shocking sight of 30cm geckos casually strolling through our home like VIP guests. Yes, you read that right—giant geckos! 🦎 These formidable critters discovered a secret entrance: a small hole behind our aircon unit. They made themselves right at home, and we (unsurprisingly) freaked out. 😱 After the initial shock wore off, we sprang into action. First stop? Tokopedia—Bali’s trusty online marketplace that just might have everything under the sun. We quickly ordered a can of spray foam sealant, and within hours, our DIY gecko-proofing kit arrived at our doorstep. Instant delivery is a lifesaver when you're locked in a showdown with supersized reptiles! 🚚 Sealing that hole was oddly satisfying and, thankfully, effective. The geckos moved on, probably to terrorize another unsuspecting household. Lesson learned: Balinese homes may have hidden entrances for curious wildlife, so always inspect nooks and crannies, even if they seem too small to matter. So, what’s the takeaway? If you’re moving to or enjoying an extended stay in Bali, be prepared for quirky encounters like this. Whether it’s geckos, tropical insects, or even cheeky monkeys, staying calm and resourceful is key. Pro tip: Tokopedia is your best friend for fast fixes to local surprises.
