I never had one of these little guys. All my lizards were daytime lizards, so they fell asleep at night. This gecko is probably up past his bedtime.
I once was present when a leopard gecko hatched out of his egg… and greeted the world with a surprisingly loud and indignant “peep-peep-paa!”
None of my lizards ever did that.
Quite the critter. Magnificent in its own manner.
