MY LEO IS DIGGING AND PULSING!!!!!!!!!!!

webster Sep 01, 2003 02:01 PM

Hi
My gecko is approx 1 1/2 -2 years old. He has had no health problems except his previous owner didnt allow him to shed properly and he lost the toes on his front right foot. He is active, eats mostly canned crickets and seems to enjoy being talked to and getting out of his cage a couple times a week for a run around. The other day be started digging in his 'lizard litter' and pulsing on the floor of his cage. I freaked out and couldnt find anything that matched his symptoms on the interent so I rushed to the local reptile store and the man there said that my gecko most likely wants a mate and is getting out his 'sexual fustration'. He came to this conclusion because my gecko is healthy. He was no constapated nor exsibiting any other syptoms that would make him think that my geck was sick. Does anyone ou there have any other ideas what might be wrong??? My gecko has since stopped and seems to be more alert and active then usual.

When you say pulsing, what exactly do you mean? You should probably get a female for him, even if you don't want to breed them. You could just throw the eggs away. Otherwise, the leo forum would be a good place to ask this question. Goodluck!
