Thanks everyone

I will definitely give him a treat for you Isis

That is what Ron Tremper told me to do to get
my Conan to open his mouth so I could force feed him....Yes it worked.
He was stressed from shipment. Would not eat on his own.
I force fed him for EIGHT months. That's right 8 months in that manner....jamming a headless
meal worm in his mouth each time I tapped the side
and he opened it. He told me that annoys them.
Many times Conan would grab the worm, shake his head
tossing the worm across the room...................
THEN ONE TIME he death griped my thumb instead,
shook his head with my thumb in it, ..................
and gave me one of the Da-m-ist bites I've ever had......
some real damage in the way of a ripped alligator type bite.
YES, I did learn from a very painful, long time bleeding/healing Gecko Bite..............
I learned to use wooden tongs when I thought about hand
feeding,
I learned a GECKO CAN BITE..........
and I damn well learned not to Kiss one no matter
how friendly they get.
Caution: Geckos Will Bite and they carry Salmonella
from what I've been told.........
So I think a bite could be a health concern.
But I'm not a doctor. IDKSAD

Most of our geckos don't do it, I've only noticed three that will and thought it was pretty cute. I am sure it does irritate them though. He bit me a few times when I was doing it and taking a picture, but it was just those softer bites that you can barely feel. I don't think I'll ever do it again though, after seeing/hearing about all the bites that have happened around here lately, I don't want to take my chances :main_no:
