Fried gecko

If you are sensitive, please don't look at the photo.
The other day Nicholas was frying sausages at home and a gecko baby jumped in to the hot oil and died.
Nicholas was so shocked he couldn't speak and he had to throw away the pan and all.
Just a few days before that Gabi scared a gecko on her balcony when she lifted a flower pot so another gecko baby took a jump down on the street and died too.
Besides that Angels seems to love the taste of geckos.
