What are some of your geckos "mannerisms"?

Mine likes to sleep on my keyboard (since my laptop has a bad cooling unit making a nice warm surface). She also give me "the look" when she's hungry. Sometimes when I play music, she comes over to "investigate".

My male Argento squeeks any time you move him, pick him up out of the tank, keep him from crawling down my back, move him from shoulder to shoulder. He isn't scared or angry its just that he 'talks' a lot lol.

Also my tug snow Bashful likes hair, she will burrow behind my neck into my hair and has actually climbed up into my daughters loose ponytail lol.

Well Ares tends to make his gurgling noise when he is annoyed with you. Other than that he will sleep in any crevice you make available to him. Including, and not limited to, your clothing.

Let's see:
Cotten likes to squeak at me when I finally get a hold of her to pick her up.
If I move her humid hide to pick it up and mist it, she spazzes out and runs ALL OVER her cage. She also believes that the top of her humid hide is her potty spot.

The other two have yet to show me any real mannerisms yet.

Only thing that really stands out about mine is Loki absolutly loves polo shirts and hiding under the collar. Any time I take him out and stick him to my shirt, it's right up to the shoulder and then lays down for a nap under the collar. lol. So cute.

my little crested attacks the side of his tank when a drop of water rolls down it or if he sees crickets in someone elses tank or in a container.

my one fatty rubs his nose against the side of his tank all the time...on time it was a bit humid and had a little water vapor on the side of his tank and he did that and sneezed..so cute!

Kobe takes flying leaps - jumping gecko - from arm to computer key board. Hannah likes the hair too and climbs into it.

Let's see;

Tiamat gives me 'the go-away-and-turn-out-the-lights-look' whenever I wake her up for supper. She also likes any shirts with collars; she likes to hide in them. She also likes baggy sleeves - especially my robe sleeves.

Mandarin gurgles when I put him down sometimes, especially after dinner. I guess he's so full he doesn't appreciate being handled. He's pretty content to ride around on my shoulder but he'll stare at my pony tail like it's a monster or something. lol

My favorite is when Sappho is irritated. :D If she's annoyed she'll make soft clicking sounds at me, and it gets a lot more intense when I'm removing stuck shed. She's the sweetest, tamest gecko ever - she came that way, too! I handled a few leos but she stuck out at me because she was so calm. However, she likes to pretend she's vicious! When I'm removing shed from her face, she'll open her mouth wide like she's about to bite! Then I'm like, 'We both know you won't do it,' and she blinks and closes her mouth. She never actually bites, the little pansy. ;)

Gretchen will usually come out and look at me when I call her - regardless of the time of day or night. She may turn right back around if she is not hungry or interested in anything -- but she at least responds to my voice.

Eugene is quite the adventurer :) He has to explore... Sometimes he takes it to extremes and wedges himself in places he can't get out of. It's almost like he's looking for the best hiding spot in hide and go seek haha. I found him like this last night...

My female has always loved climbing. When she is on my shoulder she will stay there and chill for an hour or so than craw up the back of my head and chill on top of my head. That is until she decides to crawl down my face. lol She also was a big time weaver/ climber of the tank walls until recently.
My male doesnt think gravity applies to him. he will take a running start off of anything; a desk, platforms in the tank etc.
