Rattlesnakes

gex53 Dec 17, 2003 10:31 PM

Would the sound of rattlesnakes from the t.v. scare leopard geckos? Seein how rattlesnakes like to eat lizards. Stupid question i know but i thought maybe they have instincts to steer clear of snakes.
Thanks

I don't think it would scare the leos. My T.V. makes all sorts of crazy noises, sometimes I leave Animal Planet on and you can hear different animals, but my geckos don't even flinch. Take Care.

Leopard geckos wouldn't know what a Rattlesnake is...Rattlesnakes are strictly new world save for one species...Leopard Geckos are from Afghanistan and Pakistan.. they don't have rattlesnakes.
