When i first got my male Hypo Tangerine I thought that he was Blind...He would just walk right past any type of insect...mealies, crickets, waxworms..
It got to the point where I had to help him eat some mealworms...I didn't know if he was eating or not...
After our little feeding session he is such a chauncy. He knows when it is feeding time and will stick his big head out of his rock and look up waiting for me.
The thing I have noticed though, is that he seems to hear MUCH better than he can actually see.
He can literally be facing another direction, and the slightest sound a cricket behind him makes triggers a fierce chase...He seems to have that old legend where if your vision is bad, it heightens your other senses...for him his hearing...
It is funny to watch him eat, because it seems more like he is listening than looking....Then when he goes to hit a cricket he will sometimes miss--terribly--and then have to chase it down again...but he never gives up.
I was happy that he started getting such a good appetite...His tail is huge now, and his body is actually quite muscluar/toned(not fat)
Has anyone else ever seen this type of adaption in any of their geckos or other animals?

Sorry for the thread if it was boring...I just thought someone would be interested
