Hello everyone;
I've had my female crested gecko for a bit over two years now. Just a couple nights ago, for the first time I've ever heard, she started making weird, loud "krrrr" sounds and shaking her head when I stroked her back. It's not the usual chirping, which I'm used to and hear all the time. I was looking around online and it sounds like it's just a breeding call they make; can someone confirm this? She's still active and shedding as normal. If it does sound like a mating call, could temperature changes have prompted it? Our house usually sits around 70 but we did just come out of winter where it was a bit chilly on occasion, so I'm wondering if the sudden warmer temperatures put her "in the mood."
