Ever catch your gecko walking off ledges in their enclosures or handling one and it starts running towards the edge of your hand/table/furniture with no intention of slowing down? You catch them of course...

Always makes me laugh

haha yeah i noticed that too... mine would run towards the edge of my bed or the table (like when i took a pic of it) and i'd hafta go put my hand out so it stops running

another funny one was when she'd try to walk through the glass, but her face would end up rubbing sideways and she'd look up and then try to climb the glass. sometimes i'd see her pressed flat against the glass - just standing there so i'd pick her up~

Kalypso does that. She likes exploring new places and trying to run off the edge of my bed. Only when I put my hand up to stop her she doesn't stop, she just keeps on running but goes in a different direction.

She also stands straight up by the glass to see if she can climb out but she can't. That's when I go to pick her up and she starts moving her front feet like she thinks it's actually working.

It's cute when leo's do that.

GUY: You know I have a tendency to grow on people.
GAL: Yeah, so does fungus.

"Maybe there is no actual place called hell. Maybe hell is just having to listen to our grandparents breathe through their noses when they're eating sandwiches."

I notice it too.

Also, what one of mine likes to do is get up on his little rock hut, stretch his neck out while looking up as far as it will go without him toppling right off the hut, and start waving his arm out in front of him in the air, as if by magic another ledge will appear right in front of him for him to put his hand on. He'll do this for a long time until he finally just falls forward and flat on his face. Gotta love the little darlings
