Lizard vs. Gecko

I can handle lizards. They are green, brown, tan, and sometimes red. I won't go pick one up on my own or anything, but if someone is holding one, it's not a big deal. I don't scream or run another way or try to get away from them. Geckos, on the other hand, are a completely different story. They're see through. As in translucent. And that's enough to explain why they freak me out.
