.....who talks to their leos :eek:

Today, I was scolding Slinky (my male Los Vegas albino) for eating the moss
substrate in his humid hide (which he is still pooping out!!) when I realized
my neighbor, who my Mom had let in, was standing right behind me :eek:

I felt pretty silly :main_rolleyes:

Do you guys talk to your leos, or am I just a crazy person?? :main_laugh:

(I know that's a loaded question, so watch your manners!! :main_laugh:)

We talk to our leos, cats, everything :) We even talk to animals we see outside.. I wouldn't think it's crazy, but this is also coming from a crazy person ;)

LOL, Nigel!!! That's exactly how I talk to my geckos!

"Hi sugar bug!" "Ohhhhh, your soooo pwetty!" "You're such a fatty-fat-fat-fat."

(... and yes, I call my little babies "wee ones")

I talk to our dogs and cat like they are children..."no no" or "thats icky" lol. The geckos are different...I call them all my "babies" and talk quite like Marcia, in baby talk lol.

I talk to mine all the time, but it's mostly stuff like "Come on, buddy," while trying to coax him out of somewhere, or small comments like "Eat up," or "Don't go that close to the edge," (when he's on my desk or bed).

I think its human nature to coddle animals like a child if you're an animal lover.
All my animals get spoiled with food, love, affection, and baby talk :)

Yeah, I know its not really crazy, and I agree, I dont care what anyone thinks either :D

I think Amy is right. When you love your animals, it's perfectly natural to talk
to them like they where your children :)

I guess folks who dont like animals would find it strange, but that's their
loss :main_yes: I cant imagine life w/o my animal friends :)
