Does any of your Geckos stare at you?

Hey guys! It's been awhile since my last post. Anyways I haven't seen my Geckos breeding but I know they are because of the "breeding bite mark" I see on the females. I left my bedroom door open so I can peek to see if they're breeding because it seems they won't breed when I'm there.Not trying to be a perv but just wanted to be sure they're breeding :) I swear that whenever I peek by the door even though I tip toed quietly so they can't hear me coming, they stare at me! Whenever I walk in my room, they turn around and stare ate me no matter what position their body is in. And finally the female jumps on my hand and then she looks at me! My friends who aren't into reptiles were astonished and amazed how intelligent these lizards are! Has anyone had similar experience?

I have a few geckos that will look at me when I'm doing chores in the gecko room. It is very interesting! I've got one that will come lick water off the misting bottle tip as I let it dribble out!!

My cresties stare through me at nights. Also, my tokay and golden geckos will come out and watch me when I'm back in my bedroom (where their enclosures are.

they're also defensive and are always on the lookout for a threat. something large and moving might be a predator. I'm pretty sure my Tokay thinks I'm up to no good - she watches me very suspiciously :)

My neighbors cat came into my room (I left my apartment door open) and my geckos hid inside the bamboo. At least I'm comfortable knowing they don't see me as a threat to them. At least I like think so :)

Sahyu is doing it right now. She’s been doing it for over an hour now and I am really getting creeped out. But not even a minute ago, I realized something even creepier. She’s not staring at me, she’s staring behind me. At the blank wall.

At least one of the P. laticauda watches me all of the time. That lady likes to hang out on the glass closest to me and just watch me watching her :). The other 2 watch me, discreetly, from a distance. They obviously still think of me as a potential threat.

As for the Giant Day Geckos, the female watches me all the time. She's very friendly, and likes to lap her gecko diet from the cup in my hand, and to have her head rubbed. The male, on the other hand, watches me like a hawk, and takes off like a rocket the first time I move when I'm sitting here at my desk! He's skittish. At 2 or 3 years old, dog knows if that'll ever change, but at least the lady is friendly and sweet. She's watching me right now, along with 2 of the P. laticauda. We're all just one big happy family, here :).
