Intoducing my male Gekko Gekko

[Dsaberton]

Just thought i would introduce him to the forum. I also have a female, but she is just there to keep my male happy. His name is Jarvis. He loves being held. He is very docile, and will let me to anything to him without biting me. He still gets angry when i remove him from the tank, but after hes been out for a minute, he is completely docile. I have had him for around 9 years, and i beleived him to be around 9 months old when i bought him. I ordered him from Silver City Scerpentarium in Florida. Let me tell you, these people produce some serious quality reptiles.

I forgot what its called when they do this, but i love this old reptile trick. I have gotten him to sit like this for over 20 minutes. Its just hilarious.

That poor animal looks about as stressed out as it could be. They're not toys to play with.

Poor stressed out, underweight tokay! if he is almost 10years he should be WAY heavier than that.
And geckos cant breathe properly when upsidedown like that (what ive heard)

Ummm ya that's not so good, a reptile being upside down and not flipping back over himself is bad bad bad. Not a good trick. It means something is wrong. It's great you can handle him but I think the reason you can is because something is wrong. Sorry I'm not trying to hate on you but I deal with 20 including my hatchlings on a daily basis and it's never a good sign that a reptile will lay on his back and stay like that with out flipping over.
