weird

[alexwilson]

on a few occasions i have seen my gecko do this weird thing where it looks like he is kind of clicking his back, in the way that you might have a big stretch in the morning or crack your knuckles. He kind of tensed his back up and moved a bit and i heard a little click.
hope this makes sense. Like, you know when you might rotate your neck and it clicksi f youve been sitting still 4 ages or something like that. it looked like that. Just wondering if this is anything to be worried about.
thanks

I haven't seen any of my leos click their back, but I have one that will stretch out his back when he wakes up in the evening. Everytime he stretches, he'll let out a "beep~" sound (vocal), so loud that I could even hear him in the living room.

This probably isn't what you are talking about because mine do not make noise. But while eating some of my leo's will sort of curve their bodies starting from the head down to the back legs. I think it helps them swallow or push food down to their stomach.

Occasionally when I bend my gecko's backwards to check for ovulation or eggs, I hear their spines click a little. Maybe I am a gecko chiropractor?

Haha. I looked into your services but it wasn't covered by insurance.

this sounds about right. it looks like they are doing something very uncomfortable but its probably just this. cheers
