The other day, I went into the gecko room and I was watching one of my geckos when I heard a squeak/scream from my right. There were 3 geckos it could have come from. Two of them were asleep and one was in her humid hide. I've heard them make this noise when I've frightened them...or whatever...in fact, I've only heard it as a reaction from something I've done. But, I didn't do anything to any of them...why else would one of the geckos make this noise? Anyone know?

I just went to feed them and it happened again. I forgot to mention that all of my geckos live alone...I wonder if they make that noise when they yawn. One of my geckos appeared to be just waking up when I went in to feed and I heard the noise. I just hope none of them are in pain.

I have a gecko that will squel at me and open its mouth at me as if it could bite me. I was spraying some water around and some water hit the gecko and it did not like it. I laughed at it....funny noise.

baby leos don't like being sprayed directly, baby fat tails are even worse

They scream because they think you are a predator, and screaming may deter you. My little Gina screamed at me once, and it sounded like the squeak noise that happens when you let air out of a balloon.

My geckos make this noise as well...sounds like a little beetle bug or something. Usually when mine do it they're excited, as we handle ours probably too much. They love the contact and actually seem to enjoy when we bring them out of their tank!!!

maybe it had a nightmare? *HAHAHA*

Mine does it when shes excited. And the other day i was cleaning her cage and i have this little bucket that i put warm wet paper towels in the bottom of so not only is she out of her cage for me to clean it, but she gets a warm soak too, and apparently she wanted out and she "stood up" (she was leaning against the side of the bucket while standing on her back legs) just stared at me and squeaked a LOT, lol, so apparently she wanted out.

Mine do the squeaking as well, normally when i first get them and i give them their first spray of water into their tank, i tend to do this for the fact that i want them to get use to having me in and out of their cages and get them use to the occasional misting that i tend to give them. They squeak and i just laugh at them and tell my girlfriend to come in and join in the laugh. She normally just shakes her head and says i'm mean. oh well. lol

squeaking? Mine just hisses wen he trys to jump from my hand and save him the gratitude.....
