The woman was shopping in a Lidl in Manchester when she found the animal
A woman found a tiny baby gecko in a punnet of strawberries from a Lidl supermarket in south Manchester.
"When I looked again I saw this tiny gecko, I couldn't believe it. 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. Rachel said: "When I was told I would be collecting a stowaway gecko I must admit I was expecting to be greeted with something slightly larger! When I opened the box I had to look twice to see where the lizard was.
