weird behavior

sport72186 Jun 27, 2008 04:16 PM

I have an albino leo who is about a year old. He seems to be irritated recently. I dont understand why. when i try to touch him he freaks out and wags his tail all over the place like he is irritated. he looks different as well, almost like his back is hurting him. i havent seen him stand tall lately either, he kind of scoots around low to the ground. he still climbs on top of his hide but he doesnt seem to eat much. sorry my description is not great, but does anyone have any suggestions?

Ummm, pardon me for being crude, but it sounds like your gecko may be "in the mood for some gecko love" LOL. It's breeding season. Sounds like he's hor*y.

lol.. seriously? i just put him with a female a few weeks ago and nothing happened. (he wasn't acting weird then though). i can try again, but im hesitant just in case it might be something more serious like parasites. id hate for my female to get sick from him if that is the case..
