This baby leopard gecko is not yet socialized, so he gives a lot of sass to his attending human being.
I’ve had more kinds of lizards than you can shake a stick at, but only geckos can do the Pavarotti. I imagine this can be somewhat annoying, late at night.
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.
After a brutal week of politics, I’m outta here, I’m going for God’s stuff, and I’m takin’ you with me if you want to come.
“Unknowable” recently described an encounter with a tiny baby horny-toad, or rather horned lizard, which made me want to have one, too. I love lizards, and horned lizards are so unusual. They don’t grow very large, but this baby is the smallest one I’ve ever seen.
BTW, because they eat hardly anything but live ants, horned lizards don’t make suitable pets and should be allowed to remain in the wild and loved and appreciated just where they are.
