A shocked shopper couldn’t believe her eyes when she found a live gecko among the raspberries she bought at a UK grocery store.

A customer handed the container with the reptile to Sainsbury’s worker Laura Johnson on May 27.

It is unclear how the dark-scaled gecko managed to find its way to the Essex supermarket, but the company says it has processes in place to “prevent these sorts of scaly surprises.”

“I was approached by a fellow customer who had picked them up and she was worried about it being disposed of, I passed it on to a supervisor and left it with him. I can only hope he or she wasn’t hurt,” Johnson said.

A spokesperson for the company added: “We’re investigating with our supplier.

“We’re grateful to the customer and colleagues at our East Mayne store, who arranged for the gecko to be collected by the RSPCA.”

Geckos are found on every continent across the globe but prefer warm, tropical climates.
