Geckos Never Ever Bite-Or Do They?!?!?

[Ultrakd]

This is a Tremper female that had totaly stopped eating and lost so much weight that we were going to put her down. For some reason she started eating the day we were going to put her down. Now look at her, she held on like this for about a minute.

Here is what his finger looked like afterward.

Hope you guys get a laugh out of it.:main_thumbsup:

Sometimes it doesn't hurt, but they certainly can hurt if they really want to! Glad to hear that she started eating and didn't need to be put down afterall

OMG....I am glad that so far all mine have done is the occasional pinch. A couple of my big boys could do some damage if they decided to.

Glad to see she is eating again. Only been bit once. Made me jump more than anything. Now I just try to keep my hands away from their mouths when trying to help them get their shed skin off.

Haha, that's a cute pic!

About your female not eating and losing weight, she doesn't look too thin in the pic. Does she have other not curable sickness that makes you want to put her down? Some of my females will also stop eating completely starting from this time of the year (weather + ovulation), and it goes on for 5-6 months (not kidding). I have ones that went from 82-83g in December to 49g in June/July; but every year they survived and will eventually resume eating again.

Sorry for saying so much, but females stop eating for long period of time is not a too uncommon thing; they can usually get over it.
