In Japan, there is a phrase for laughing and smiling kind of sheepishly and sticking your tongue out to the side of your mouth called tehepero (てへぺろ), which you may have seen many a schoolgirl do in photos.

The gecko's name is gomashio--which literally means sesame salt, and is a reference to this leopard gecko's salt and pepper skin. The pictures come courtesy of Japanese Twitter user and reptile enthusiast @MassuChannel, and have won over the hearts of the Japanese internet by showing us just how charming a gecko can be!
