Hi all,
Today I got two approx 2 month old Cresties. I tried to snap a few pics and one jumped out of the deli cup. I got it on my hand and put it back into the deli cup. I started to freak out then went limp and acted like it was dying. I left it alone for a while and went to check back and it now seems fine.
The other Crestie seems fine and didn't react like that.

Do Crested Geckos play "dead" as a defense mechanism??

Thanks.
