Help! My leopard geckos are fighting. I hear that often this time of year. Keepers understand that geckos may fight if kept together, especially 2 males. and become concerned when they see their pets battling it out. However, there is a difference between aggressive fighting and the instinctual breeding behavior of nipping and nudging.
During this display the animals will grasp the other around the neck or tail area and also head push the second one. This is very common and natural. What you don't want to see is biting accompanied by violent shaking and thrashing by the over aggressive animal. With this demonstration, it is time to separate the animals!

ReplyDeleteI have a passion for exotic pets and animals and was unhappy with many of the websites listing these exotic pets for sale. I just did not think they were doing a very good job. I found them disorganized, incomplete and generally not very user friendly. So, I have set out to create a better experience and am building a free classified ads site where people can list their exotic pets for sale or post wanted ads seeking specific exotic animals for purchase.
ReplyDeleteMy site, called Exotic Pets Headquarters, is just being launched and I am aggressively marketing it as we speak. I would greatly appreciate it if you would perhaps do a future blog post so that we can build traffic. The site is currently broken down into the following main categories:
amphibians for sale
birds and parrots for sale
exotic cats for sale
geckos for sale
lizards for sale
snakes for sale
marsupials for sale
monkeys for sale
tortoises for sale
turtles for sale
And everything else goes into our “other category” at the moment. Any feedback or constructive criticism is encouraged so that we can improve! Thank you.
Why would you come on someone elses blog and post that you sell animals? Unreal!!!

ReplyDeleteI've often found that you can even place a slider (clear plastic or glass) in the cage for a couple of days and let the geckos calm down. Whilst this doesn't work every time, I have had some success with it in the past.
