Bad luck or what?

Just happened to be sitting here surfing the forums when I suddely heard a small squeak. I looked over to find Jinx biting Orion's tail. Even after I shooed Jinx away, he kept climbing towards Orion (who was sitting in my hand) until I tapped him on the nose. So out of all of our geckos cresteds, none can be housed together. Is this a common thing or do I just have bitey beasties?

are the geckos in question adult male and female (i noticed your sig, you have 1.1.2), it is closing in on breeding season and if the male was bitting the female, that is why. Otherwise, some geckos get along, others dont, others get along for years then decide they hate one another. The thing to remember is that reptiles are not socail by nature so we can not expect them to always be happy to have a friend.

One looks to be a male (Jinx), Orion on the other hand is still fairly small so I'm not sure yet. Either a female or a male that hasn't started showing.

You'd think out of 17 various geckos... at least 2 would get along. lol.

 

[darkridder]

yes you would, but sometimes the gecko gods just like to mess with us.

I don't where I heard this but I think the geckos know each other sex well before we can see it...

I have heard that males can tell other males before they are sexable also.
