Gecko practicing to join the circus

Starling Jun 04, 2003 01:21 AM

My gecko Pumpkin has learned to try to crawl upside down hanging by the screen top. Sometimes she hangs completely upside down a moment or so before she falls. Here she is practicing.

The pink tinge with the whiteness at that area, gravid gex get that look. But no. She is over a year and half old, but I have never let her come into physical contact with a male. If an egg is developing, it is infertile, and I don't think there is an egg developing in there.

Don't have her near any house gex that could have been teaching her tricks?

She reminds of me my female. She is so mischevious! Climbs all over the place makes a dash for the exit as soon as you open the glass. Doesn't matter what I do to keep my viv furnature in place she ALWAYS manages to reck it. I have this image of her getting a little sledge hammer and hard hat every time I turn out the lights.

One of my geckos use to do this all the time, and now she doesn't. I think it was just a phase she went through or something??? hahaha. Anyways she would, REPEATEDLY, crawl up the piece of driftwood, take a flying leap and hang right onto the screen top. She'd hang there for a bit until she would fall. I'd always sit there and laugh, and I shook my head, cuz I thought, if she keeps it up one of these days she'll get hurt. I never did manage to get pictures of her doing it, and I wish I did. It was very humourous while it lasted, but now she does nothing of the sort??? How weird is that? :P
