The gecko survived the 3,000-mile trip from Egypt to Manchester to pop up in a punnet of strawberries.
Nikata Moran, 29, who found the gecko says she "can't get over the journey it had, ending up in my kitchen"A woman made the surprise discovery of the Egyptian lizard when she opened her fridge in Manchester to find a "little head" popping up.
Nikata Moran, 29, who bought the fruit from Lidl said she saw something move "out of the corner of my eye".Ms Moran put the gecko, which measured only 2.5cm into a tub and called the RSPCA who have rehomed it. She said: "It seemed very alert, so I managed to get it onto a spoon and pop it into a plastic container, where it moved very, very fast."I just can't get over the journey it had, ending up in my kitchen," Ms Moran said.The Egyptian gecko - or Tarentola annularis - was collected by RSPCA inspector Rachel Henderson and checked by a vet specialising in exotic animals.
"I have no idea how something so tiny survived for such a long time in transit in a sealed-up container," she said.
