Not used to a reptile with eyelids! And Legs!

[Eriathiel]

Well as some of you may know, I got my first leo yesterday - and prior to that I have only owned snakes and one anole. But the way that the Leopard Gecko sleeps is too cute - she just seems to throw herself on the floor and I thought she was dead! Her legs look all ... noodle like! But the second I started to open the viv she sat up and looked around!

Silly me! Its going to take some getting used too!

lol, yep, they put their legs in some crazy positions when they sleep.

haha, there have been a few times where i thought mine looked dead, but turned out they were just, dead tired!!! sorry for that joke. Welcome to the world of leos, they are great little guys!

When I first got mine, I poked her while she slept every once in a while for peace of mind. I knew that they slept in weird positions and that it was normal, but I couldn't help thinking she was dead or that she had broken something.

Now I'm used to it. It's quite funny how they drop dead to sleep.

Happy to know I'm not the only one! She really scared me!

I sometimes think mine fake sleeping. I'll see them passed out looking sound asleep one second, I'll turn around for less than a minute, and then I'll see they're passed out asleep in another position. They really are funny when they sleep.

mine only half sleeps when im poking around. she'll curl up in weird positions and keep one eye closed while the other one is on me. she'll do it in my hand too. its like she wants to be completely comfortable but is still a little wary.

I love how they stretch all their hands and legs to the back towards the tail direction, their little palms are so cute!

I agree! I love playing with their feet if they decide to let me. They're "hands" are so cute.
