Just curious if anyone has had a Gecko who seems to know what their name is. I was thinking about it since I just figured what to name my little unknown, Darwin :)

Our geckos seem to know when we are talking to them because they will shift their heads and look at us when we talk to them, but I think they are just hearing the tone of our voices to determine if we are a threat or not.

Yea, I agree they dont learn their names but coming into the room with a bag or a cup brings them running to the front! They definitely know when their gonna getta goodie :)
And if they arent awake to see me come in with the food, then a tap on the top screen brings them out :) So "Pavlov" response- yes But- Id say its a no to learning names. But it' still fun to name them :)

LOL Dave.

Thanks for the replies. I haven't read into gecko intelligence, or lack there of. That will have to be another topic to look into. Its probably a good thing they arn't to smart, they might start hunting us in packs (Jurassic Park moment).

just out of curiosity.... sorry to hijack the thread.
but what sort of memory DO they have?

i mean i suppose they have basic memory to know where the heat source is and the water etc... but i mean how short term is it.
