Im new so I dont know

FrostDragon Aug 28, 2006 08:26 PM

I have a question about Sora. At his age, how am I supposed to tell his gender? And I saw he because I'm 99% sure, but he might be too little. My guess is he's about 2-3 months. Can you help me with that? I also want to know what the bumps on his skin are for- I know all gecko's have them but what is their purpose??? I also want to know why he licks everything? Again I know all gecko's lick, but why? Thanx.

I have no idea about the bumps. I guess they are for protection.
But I do know about the licking part. There is an vomeronasal organ in the "ceilling" of their oral cavity. Its a conduct that goes straight to his olfatory bulb in his brain. So they are actually smelling when they lick the air.
