Nothing special about this post, just wanted to share an experience.

Last night I decided to hold Toon up to Hugzor's (my AFT) tank to sort of "introduce" them. Their tanks are side by side but I don't think they can see each other very well.

I wasn't really expecting much, just kind of figured they'd be nonchalant about it. But Hugzor got very pissed! He raised up on all fours and started flagging his tail (I think it's so funny when they do that). He proceeded to walk around very slowly, not taking his eyes off Toon the whole time. Toon just sat there, didn't seem to care much. Even after I put her back in her tank, Hugzor ran up to the side of his tank closest to her's, trying to see her. He still had his tail going. His big black eyes make him look all psychotic.

So I hope you all enjoyed my story!

From what I've seen AFTs seem to be quicker to show anger or aggression. Granted I have only been around a few of them.

My two AFTs are way mellower than most of my leos. They're more skittish until they know you, though. The only tail drop in my care I've ever had was our little fatty boy when my son was holding him, about 2 weeks after we got him. I felt like Bad Gecko Mommy.

Thanks for the tale. =)

I did the same to my new leo and Neara the other day lol
They didn't seem to care, they looked at each other and stuff. My lil one found Neara super interesting though xD and followed along the inside of the cage wherever she went

Haha that'd be hilarious to see considering Toon is about 3 times his size . He's probably only about 3 months old or so. LOL!! The visual I got made me almost pee my pants :main_laugh:

Ever seen a toy poodle do a great dane? Funny stuff. He got smart and used the doghouse to get himself up there

Absolutely a true story. Happened 35 years ago. In my backyard. Cripes I'm old as dirt!

I'm rooting for Toon, down with AFT's.
