Info needed on a lizard!

[Karennina]

I seem to have acquired a little lizard that has been living in our bedroom!
It is a pale sort of pink colour and when stretched out on the ceiling at night looks about 5 or 6 inches long...
What I want to know is are they harmful as in poisonous and do they breed a lot, reason I ask this is my neighbour has already put one out for me a few nights back so I'm a bit concerned as to whether there is more then one somewhere in the bedroom....I know I have an over active imagination but I don't want to arrive here sometime to a bedroom full of lizards!
I can't hurt it or spray it or anything like that....
Thanks for any info as what it may be...

Without a photograph or good description it's difficult to tell but it's probably a gecko and will be doing a lot more good than harm. It'll be killing a lot of tiny insects for you.

Thanks everyone I'm sure now it is the Mediteeraen Geko, iv definetely only seen it / them at night, iv usually dozed off with the telly on, and woken up and done a quick reccee around the walls for spiders and thst is when iv seen it....
So long as I know it is not poisonous it can stay I just got to hope he or she is not  preggers!  
I think I will try and take a photo next time it puts in an appearance...

We get them in our place too and as said they do a lot of good killing insects.

If only we could have a deal with bugs - you don't come near me (ever!) and I won't zap you.

Definitely isn't venomous, the ONLY venomous lizard in the world is the Gila Monster,    which is native to the South Western States of North America... & Mexico. These little geckos or skinks, are absolutely harmless, and rather beautiful really , in my opinion anyway . ( There IS a HUGE difference between poisonous & venomous, by the way !! ) And here endeth today's Wonderful World of Nature lesson , same time tomorrow , everyone ??
