Leo's make noise?

Seanu13 Nov 07, 2007 11:39 AM

Do all leos make noises or is something just wrong with mine? She seems fine. I hadn't heard her make noises until the other day (its not often but I know its her doing it) and she's eating fine so my theory of choking must not be right. Any info to put my mind at ease is appreciated =)

Mine is usually silent, but they can vocalize. My understanding is that they typically do it when something disturbs/scares/otherwise annoys them. It's not abnormal, per se, and it may just be a part of your gecko's personality that she vocalizes more than the average gecko.

ok great thats much better than "yes, she has a mealworm head clinging to her throat" or something of the sort =). I was thinking she may see her relection on the glass and is responding as if it was another gecko, or maybe like you said she just does it more than the average gecko as part of her personality which wouldnt be bad, it just startled me at first.

Thank you very much! =)

I have a female albino that likes to make a squiiizy sound when I pick her up... then she stops.
Needless to say all babies are screamers... they scream their heads off....
