Gecko Fault Circuit Interrupter

Troubleshooting why my garage GFCI plug tripped late last night. The GFCI also protects the outlet on our back porch:

Found this poor little Gecko still nearly bridging hot to neutral with tail touching the grounded metal outlet case. Not sure if bridged hot to neutral or hot to ground first, but he obviously bridged enough current to trip the GFCI sensor and let the smoke out of himself as an electrical component.
