Thanks guys. After reading all 3 pages, I'm feeling pretty sane about myself lol! I have 5 geckos and no matter how old each one is, they're all my babies. I talk to ALL of them. Especially Lily, my 3 year old female. She's the one I'm closest too. I know she understands me too :) And I understand what she tells me in her own little way.
I have all kinds of names for Lily: lily pad, lily pants, miss pad, miss pants, my pants girl, my pretty gecko girl.
Jax: jaxters, jaxterpal, cute little gecko boy
and Ringo, Nico, and Spot are their hatchlings so I don't have many nicknames for them yet. Give me time.
*sighs* you guys think I'm nuts yet?

Hey I have discovered that my "babies"are my best listeners, LOL. They never laugh at me if I say something dumb and they have yet to tell me to shut up!!!

I think them getting used to our voices helps make them more tame.

I think so too. Sometimes, I can talk my girl snow out of her hidding cave
to come up to the front of the tank and see what I'm blabering about :D

It seems like she really wants to know what the heck I'm doing; "is he going
to just stand there like an idiot, or do I get some crix!!??" :D
