This morning when I went to feed the birds this tiny gecko scampered across the kitchen floor. It was such a tiny little fellow. I was too scared to pick him up with my fingers. At least not without screaming and waking up the kids. Then, I accidently flipped him over on his back. He stopped wiggling after a few seconds. At first I was confused because I was being very gentle with him and I knew he surely wasn't dead. Then I remembered seeing a young girl on television that dressed lizards after flipping them on their backs. Evidently it puts them in a sort of trance for a few minutes. As "Pocahontas" is showing in the picture below. The kids were fascinated by all the little lizard's insides and kept asking me, "What is that?". Looks like we've got some lizard research to do. 
I've added a link to to Lily Capehart's website also known as "The Lizard Whisperer".
