The tragedy of the town common is an old story that has long played in the MS theater. For every slow moving gekko who uses camouflage and ambushes his prey, you have a flamboyant Gordon Gekko who thinks greed is right, greed works.

As reptile keepers and breeders have noted "Your typical pet RAT, provided it is fully grown, can kill any lizard up to its own size, if it wants to." In a world infested with RATs, it is far safer to be a camouflaged gekko than a flamboyant Gordon Gekko who becomes RAT chow.
