Happy gecko and his plastic friend are an absolute ray of sunshine

There are still pure things in this world to be discovered.

There are a lot of cute animals out there on the internet, but so many absolutely pale in comparison to this gecko. Not an exaggeration.

Its appearance is adorable, this is for sure, but more than that its spirit! It's so pure! Please bask in its glow.

When was the last time you smiled as peacefully as this gecko? Never, probably.

And guess what? There's more. This smile isn't a one-time thing -- there's a whole Instagram dedicated to this gecko and he's consistently happy.

Who knew geckos could be on this level? Other gecko owners, apparently, who started contributing pics of their own reptilian cutie friends.

Oh my.

There is a whole world of cute geckos out there. Get out and find some.
