I've been wondering how well a Leo's sight really is. When I'm holding Jak, and letting him crawl on my hands, he'll try to step off of my hand, only to have me put my free hand there for him to step on. I'm not sure if he doesn't have any depth perception, or is just a really trusting and smart gecko and knows my hand will be there for him. (this is all at night, after the lights have gone out)
Also, Jak doesn't like to have his view blocked. It's kind of funny actually. If I put my free hand in front of him, he will not hesitate to climb the hand so that he can see over it. However, he always stops with three feet on the new hand, and always leaves one foot on my other hand. And he'll stay like that looking around for a couple of minutes at a time. Eventually I'll get my other hand free and "block" his view, only to have the whole process started over again. He'd do it forever if my arms didn't get tired =) Also, if my hand is flat and he's laying there, he usually is looking down over my hand, if I put a hand in his way, he'll climb down to that hand so he can get a better view again. Very fun to watch.
And lastly, has there been any studies into what a leo is actually seeing? I've seen pictures of what a cat sees and what a dog sees, and even what bees and flies see, anychance there's something along those lines for leos? Sorry this got so long, but I haven't been posting lately, and the questions and stories had built up =)
