One of my girls is getting pretty confidant around me and comes running whenever I open the tank to beg for food..

last night I opened the tank and was sorting out the substrate when a wet sucker suddenly hit me in the forehead.

I looked up and was rewarded with another sucker to the nose..

she looked very confused as to why the snack was still attached to my face, and lined up for another shot.. I gave her a locust as a reward.

very cute but very thick

it was a shock to me, but she seems to do it on queue now, tempted to film it... but don't really think its fair to tease her as its not her fault part of her brain is daft.

I wonder why she was trying to eat you

I think she is just used to me opening the tank several times a day and hand feeding them both moths and crickets as a treat... so she sees the hands and the face mostly, decided that since my hands were out of the way she would try and pull my face off.

my female gecko also nibbles my hand even if there is no grub there as they like to get a treat now and then.

How cool, must be nice to have her so confident

[captainmerkin]

I make a point of getting her out every few days so she can wonder around the bed and she will still take food from my hand even when shes sat on the bed..

her sister is another matter alltogether when it comes to confidence, but she will feed from my hand.

Hahaha, watch out that she doesnt hit your eyes,i've got a very confident panther female that always trys to shoot my eyeball ! It doesnt really hurt and its too funny..

[captainmerkin]

judging by the grip she managed to get on my forehead I think I will keep my eyeball out of the equation!
