Geckos

I was grabbing a banana out of my fruit basket the other day and found 2 round white things nestled in with the bananas.  My first thought was: "gross, spider nests" so I dug them out and threw them away.  But they weren't soft, they were hard like an egg so then I got to thinking..."maybe they're gecko eggs!"  I looked up gecko egg pictures online and sure enough they're a match (I hope).  I fished one back out of the trash and am keeping it to see if/when it'll hatch.  Not sure if they were laid by a gecko in my house or if they came with the bananas, but I hope a baby gecko comes out eventually!  I'm keeping it on my outlet in the meantime.  :)
