I have to clarify. She didn't poop on me.

I had my girls out, showing my family, and my four year old cousin was afraid of them. So I gave her my tamest girl and set her on her hand. She was all giggling and petting Morgan and then Morgan ran up her arm, pooped on her shoulder, and ran back into her hand, looked up at me, and waited. My poor cousin started screaming and crying "I hate geckos!"

End of the story: Morgan never pooped on anyone again, and after a bath and a change of clothes, my cousin decided she did like geckos after all lol

I've technically been pooped ON once, when I had Dante out of his tank. He stopped and was just sitting on my arm and then.... yea. Lovely little present. Though one time before that he did poop on my sheet, when I had him on my bed.

Felix did the same thing...had him on my bed (that's where my leos usually go during bonding/exploring time) and he left me a lovely little present right on my sheet. So I thanked him, put him back in his tank, and promptly washed every single sheet, blanket, pillowcase, and bedcover on my bed lol

My leopards poop and pee on me once in a while but I am convinced my gargoyle geckos hold it in until they get a chance to poop and pee on me :)

One of my girls had some stuck shed, so i did a warm soak to help get it off, and in the water, she looked up at me, and then came bubbles out of the water, a fart noise, and then poop...lol, then, still staring at me, licked her lips and walked away :D

Never, although I was about to pick one of my geckos up right after feeding her and she pooped. I was a centimeter from touching it.

I had a gecko pooped on my hand once, my husband put me in that situation. He saw Whitie doing the glass dance (she does it right before she poops), but he still decide to pick her up. Then when I walked pass him, he handed Whitie to me, and as soon as she got on my hand, she pooped. That's the only time I got pooped on.

Hahaha, that is awesome.
I haven't been pooped on by a leo, but my dog will be lying down, then fart and try to run away from it, because it scares her. Then once she thinks she's far enough away she'll turn around and glare at the nearest human, like she thinks its their fault. My hedgehog poops on me a lot. How something so small can produce so much waste, I have no idea...

OH OH GOTA TELL!! lol So Beau was our first gecko and we had her all of 3 days there was no 'down time' with her to let her settle in, she was chill from the time we got her, ate the first night and let us hold her and everything.
So about 3 days into our new gecko enriched life and hubby and babygirl were on the couch holding Beau and ooohhh'ing and aaahhhh'ing over her when I hear "OMG! Baby get in here NOW!" from hubby and "AHHHHHHHHHH!" from my daughter. I have no idea what's going on so I race into the living room and they are both froze in place with Beau held at arms length going "UGGH!" lol. Thus we were christened into the wonderful world of geckohood!

On of my other girls (Spaz) was being watched by hubby and daughter on my bed while I held her tankmate (Bashful) and cleaned their tank out. Suddenly I hear "UHHHHH MOM! You need to get in here NOW and bring a TOWEL!!!!" so I go in there (with the bath towel) expecting a spilled glass of water or some such thing and there are all these little wet spots from one side of my bed to the other. Turns out Spaz wasn't too happy with being out of her cage (she lives up to her name) and decided to 'express' (bad pun) her displeasure with us :shocked:.
Those are the funniest instances of getting pooped on, there are more but they are just a matter of 'oh look at the cutie! let's pick you up.... aww thanks ya little :furious: what do I look like :toilet:?'

Live with geckos long enough, you'll get pooped on plenty. Some geckos do it more than others, of course. And some prefer to pee on you. It usually only happens to me when I handle them more roughly than I should like the time our dorm had a fire alarm (ended up being caused by someone putting Mac and Cheese in the microwave without the water). I had geckos stuffed in my pockets and gerbils up my sleeves. There was a lot of poop involved in that fiasco...

There's only been two times my gecko has pooed on someone. Both times he was out for longer than normal because I was washing the tank. My boyfriend was holding him both times, being all cute and bonding with him. Then I hear an "ew, you need to change your sheets"; he let the gecko poo on my bed because he didn't want to get any on his hands. The second time it was the exact same thing except the gecko was playing 'explorer' and crawling on the blankets. Now he has to sit in his travel cup whenever I wash his tank because my boyfriend doesn't want to hold him anymore.
