Another video here, but this is the best one yet :D

We don't use dishes for food for most of our adult geckos; we like to drop-feed them super worms (to make sure they eat and there's no worms crawling around everywhere). Because of this, they have learned to come out when they're hungry, and they literally act like dogs!

Don't mind the coco-fiber that's all over the place, I promise you their entire enclosure has tile, it's just that the laying females have kicked the dirt around everywhere.. I clean it pretty often, but there's always more and more dirt to clean :main_rolleyes:

Thank you everyone, I had been wanting to catch them on video doing this for awile now :D

Dale, tong feeding is the BEST haha.. I didn't have tongs for the longest time.. I'm sure you can imagine how many "accidental bites" I've had

That was a great video, reminded me of two Bells that would do the exact same thing when we had them in a tank. My wife and I even identified the two animals behaviors as identical to the two we had at an individual level. Keep up the great work. :D

I love the crazy jerky look they get when they KNOW it's feeding time. My Super Snow girl is the funniest of my group! Great video Jess :)

That was a GREAT video!!!
That just inspired me to feed supers to 5 of my geckos.
I did it just like you did, and they hunted, snagged, and inhaled them!
My bell male just ate 3 of them! I cannot usually get any one leo in my house to eat more than 2 at a time.

Nice Video and beautiful Geckos.

BTW - when you place the entrance on the top of the box you make it harder for them to create a mess. (...just a bit harder - but it helps)
