I like when mine yawns after he eats a good meal. I also like giving him baths in the sink. It’s good for his skin when he sheds. I also like when he wags his tail before striking at his food, it’s like when cats wiggle their butts before pouncing.

Keep in mind I’m not very sure about this* leopard geckos aren’t only active at dawn and dusk, they can be active whenever and they effectively choose when to be awake. That’s why some people say they are nocturnal and some don’t etc (again I’m not very sure)

"Relatively calm and docile" Lol... My Leopard Gecko is a crackhead. Her flight response will kick in every now and again during handling for no reason, and she just goes crazy. It really varies from gecko to gecko. There are some who can barely handle handling and some who can't handle it altogether.

@@evelia_noellesk It was just friendly really from the get go. The day we put it in the cage I told my daughter we shouldn't mess with it for a while but she wanted to come out right away. And so we really just held her a lot and let her ride on us from day one. We have a cage that opens from the front instead of having to grab her from above so I think that helps bc she can just walk onto our hands when we see her out.

It can be done in a massive enclosure with plenty of resources so they don’t compete, but even then there are risks (and it definitely shouldn’t be attempted by a beginner). I have seen countless cases of geckos seeming fine for years, then snapping and seriously injuring or killing each other.
@jobvandelaar79772 жыл бұрын
What would you guys suggest: crested gecko or leopard gecko? I live in a village, so it is a bit harder to get feeder insects. Also the weather outside is often with pretty high humidity (70%). Furthermore I am a student and I prefer an animal that is low maintenance what costs not a lot in long term. What a seek in a reptile is that they tolerate handling, are not nocturnal, prefer bioactive enclosure, don’t poop on me lol and that they kinda bond with you (not like a dog, but more like a hamster: they know who u are but do not prefer to get attention often)
@nightinggale64702 жыл бұрын
Both leopard geckos and crested geckos can tolerate handling (depending on the individual and how much you work with them), but crested geckos jump more. Leopard geckos are cathemeral, active periodically throughout day and night (but most active at dawn and dusk). Crested geckos are crepuscular. Bioactive is great for both species. Both species can potentially poop on you, I think cresties are more likely to (although I’ve worked with multiple of both species and have never been pooped on). Since it’s harder for you to get feeders and your area has high humidity, a crested gecko would probably be better. Although keep in mind that they should ideally get live insects 1-2 times a week.

Sometimes adding some more grip, like with shelving liner, can help make it easier to crawl up into the basking area. Also, if you got him more recently, it may just take some time for him to adapt to his new environment!

@LingLingSayWhat Жыл бұрын
They need at least 30" of floor space, minimum. But ideally 36". So a 20 gallon tall would not be an appropriate size enclosure for them. It can work as a temporary enclosure if you include a lot of vertical climbing decor/hides. But you definitely should plan on upgrading to a 40 gallon within a few months.

Actually, geckos can learn some interesting behaviors if you handle them. For instance, my gecko knows that if she waits on a specific decoration while I'm in the room, I'll take her out of her enclosure. She only really does this during the breeding season, but she does do it. Not for any physical affection from me, but it is interesting to observe, and she does use this as a way to "request my presence" I suppose you could say. Good thing I haven't linked a behavior with giving food like scratching the glass or trying to get my attention. Guaranteed she'd be doing that 24/7. 😂
