I would second what Armen said...all the Uros I've had do not like to be bothered during the day. Fimbriatus especially. I only bother mine if there's some necessity. At night they may seem pretty calm and will crawl around you if you let them, but this can stress them as well in some cases pretty quickly. It depends on the individual gecko to a degree. In my experience they often use the opportunity to jump off of you the first chance they get.

So the general consensus seems to be they are a look don't touch. Like I said that's fine by me. I don't bother my critter much. Only during feeding and misting time to check and make sure everyone is ok. They are now all in a seperate room which I call Lizard Lodge so they don't get bothered by humans walking past or dogs barking. They all seem much happier.

I am very very excited though. Can't wait to pick them up tonight

Thanks for asking Suey, they are doing so good. It amazes me the color changing and how the tail curls up as soon as I lift the lid to mist....... I am just so in love with these two....LOL
