Is it natural to find them up in PA? I found 2 of them a few years ago in the men's room of the McKnight road Olive Garden. It was so strange.

No, they can't survive the cold here.

I thought we do sometimes get them. I think they tend to burrow and hibernate during the winter if they live in the area. With a warming climate, they are probably spreading north.

They can hitchhike on plants but they don't live here natively.

I used to work at a Petland in Cranberry and we had a population of escaped house geckos living in the ceiling. They were cute. That storefront is something else now. Sometimes I think about those geckos and wonder if they're still popping into the bathroom in the back. I hope they're doing okay.
