Gecko Ranch said:Everyone's definition of "pet" is different, that is great! I am thrilled with the 50+ species I keep, from Phelsuma to Oedura to Leachy to Leos. Many folks turn up their nose when they cannot pick up a gecko. They are eliminating a lot of very cool geckos! I think once they really get into what keeping geckos is all about, observing them and creating a habitat as comfortable as possible for them in our homes, those types of inhibitions just fade away. I could not think of not liking my P. klemmeri or my P.m. grandis because I cannot pick them up, nor my Coleonyx mitratus because they lung at me every time I open their set-up! I respect that they don't adore me or sit complacently as I admire them. I like them for who they are, some of nature's most interesting creatures: GECKOS!!! :main_thumbsup:
I don't handle any of my geckos on a regular basis and I am quite content to observe them
Keeping reptiles has never been a real" hands on" thing with me
Even my Beardies are not handled much
So-I agree-watching and observing and appreciating them for what they are is what it is all about for me
