My Smuggled in Iraq Gecko...not eating

[GeckoGathering]

My buddy Jim smuggled me in this strange
gecko from Iraq.....
I can't get it to eat and you can see in the photo they are dangerous.......
He locked up on my finger and I can't get him loose.
Any comments or suggestions. (other than I'm CRAZY?)
take care, HJ

try running it under very hot water... it works for monitor lizards

 

[jakemyster44]

a dab of tabasco sauce on the tongue?

 

[fallen_angel]

LOL very cute! I think the hot water idea should do the trick

 

[Lady_Kiya]

Perhaps some oil and it will slip off all on its own. ^^ Lol

 

[porkchopp75]

I dunno its on there pretty good, you might have to cut it off! lol

 

[gothra]

Oh, even the water spray trick can't get him off? I think he needs some warm blood from you, he seems a little pale and blue! LOL.

 

[THE WHISPERER]

That'll teach you to put your finger in front of a rabid wild gecko.

 

[nats]

Shoot it off!

 

[Geck-O]

LOL! I read the text before looking at the pic. (it was still loading) I was like, "Smuggled?! They're Dangerous?! Won't let go of your finger?!!" When I scrolled down I really laughed!

 

[rubym]

I hate to tell you but I agree that you may have to sacrafice the finger. LOL. Very pretty guy, LOL>

 

[GekkoGalaksen]

Ohh, that is a beautiful gecko!
I have one too, but it´s captive breed in Sweden,lol.
My baby eats the happiness that comes out of friendship ( it lives on good feelings ).

looks as if we may have to take the finger off :main_robin:

 

[bubblez825]

hmmmm.......HJ you should know better than to mess with geckos you know nothing about Maybe try showing him to gekkogalaksens gecko if she is a she :main_laugh: ^__^

 

[LeapinLizards]

Wow...who knew that for years we would be trying to produce a BLUE morph, and someone just catches one and sneaks it in....sheesh

Guys you need to understand with this species, they are PURELY a display animal! Not meant for handling! They're not like teddy bears, they don't want to cuddle up with you and be your friend! Even captive breds are dangerous! All they want is to hang from your keychain.. And is that too much to ask??

 

[RepGurl]

If you give him some keys to guard I hear they will stop biting the owner of the keys. Even though they can be quite vicious they are cheep as crap to take care of. And very easy to "breed" You are crazy by the way, but we all are so its all good.

I read the text first too...I second the tabasco sauce notion!

ye gods I need that laugh so badly! thanks everyone!
