    In short, DON'T! Email notices are to ONLY alert you of a reply to your private message or your ad on this site. Replying to the email just wastes your time as it goes NOWHERE, and probably pisses off the person you thought you replied to when they think you just ignored them. So instead of complaining to me about your messages not being replied to from this site via email, please READ that email notice that plainly states what you need to do in order to reply to who you are trying to converse with.

    Yeah, I know. They are a pain in the butt. But they pay the bills to keep my server running. Just a fact of life, I am afraid.

    Want to get rid of them? Simple. Just become a Contributor level member or above and they will be gone. -> Please click HERE."

    Is that too much for me to ask of you to keep this site running? Well, sorry about that. I too wish I could get everything for free. But alas.....

    =====================


    Google Adsense ad revenue for December, 2025 was just $30 over the cost of the lease for the server running this site. So, in effect, the money providing the incentive for me to continue running this site is coming SOLELY from the paid memberships and sponsorships here. Which honestly ain't much....

Are leos personal?

Hi, just want to know if leopard geckos get to know you a lot, I've heard people say that 'my leo knows me' e.t.c. but tbh that's kinda general, are leos at about the same 'personal level' as say, a rabbit or guinea pig?

thanks
 
I know they know you by smell and I think by sight too. I know when I get close to the tank my geckos get excited because they know I am probably going to feed them. I am not sure how deep the personal level they know you .... I would like to think my geckos know me pretty well. I am not sure what you could compare them too.
 
anyone else? I don't want to get a leo if it won't get to know me, and they live pretty long, it would be nice if you could help me out
 
Im not trying to be negative here, but if you want something that is going to know you well and respond to you get a dog or cat. Dont get me wrong, leopard geckos are very friendly but I think its a stretch to say they become close to a certain individual. I have leopard geckos because I think they are beautiful animals, not to have something that I can hold constantly. I hold mine every now and then, some dont seem to mind and some do not like to be held. Hope this helps!
 
That's the great thing about leos .... they are not totally traumatized if you don't pay attention to them everyday. They are very low maintenance and with my busy schedule it works. Not that I never pay attention to them.... just if I go a day without messin with them they are cool with that.
 
I am not sure how personal their affections are, but they seem to come out of their hide caves or at least peek out and watch my every move. They are curious little girls and don't mind me picking them up. Leopard Geckos always seem to have that judgemental expression on their little faces. I have lots of snakes,tortoises and a 2 ft monitor and the gecko's seem to rule the roost LOL! They watch over everything LOL!
