jack7777766 May 26, 2003 02:19 PM

OK I was putting him in a new enclosure a 10 gallon tank and after it was done I saw him kind of poop or push some gooey white stuff out of his vent looked like 2 gooey pasty white balls that stayed stuck on his vent for a second and he licked it off. What the @#$@# is this???? What is he doing?? Is there anything wrong???

Please help
Jack

Jack,
Not to be gross but that is seamen (sperm). It is not uncommon for males to get “excited” when handling, such as when you clean cages. All my males have done it, even the young ones (7-8 months). Just see it as your male taking a liking to you .

LOL!!!

I hope this doesn't mean when I buy a male crestie that he will demonstrate his love for me by doing what most male dogs do....

Why would it lick himself afterwards anyway? Reclaim lost protein?

Because he didn't have any little gecko sized tissues?
