Do mosquitoes bite geckos?

[Geck-O]

My house has a LOT of mosquitoes. I may be being paranoid. I'm afraid of mosquitoes biting my gecko. I have found mosquitoes inside my gecko's cage before I am afraid that they will bite my gecko.

Sounds like u need to buy some anoles and let them get to eating them! My friend did that once and it worked for him. Saw a big change. He simply let them go in his house, haha dont know if its good for them but his, as far as i know, are still alive lol

I wouldn't think so, since mosquitoes are attracted to warm-blooded animals & your gecko's emit a "heat signal" that is much weaker than the outside air. Also, I think that the thick, bumpy skin would present a problem (or barrier) to the mosquito.

Actually, mosquitoes track down their host by the carbon dioxide they exhale, not heat. At least that's what I've read and heard.

mosquitoes do have the ability to bite reptiles. Now the chance of one actually biting your gecko is slim.
