    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....

clicking sound?

the other day i was feeding my leo and i herd some kind of clicking noise wen i was feeding him...then today wen i was holding him i herd it again. it seems to happen wenever he opens his mouth but not all the time...anyone no wats going on??
 
Some of my higher Strung

make a sound like that. Sort of like a little grunting. Its actually very funny. My Male ARC constantly does it when I pic him up. Its a sign of aggitation.
 
i have had him for about 7 months and he has never done it. something totally new.
 
well then

I am not sure then. I am sure however that other leopard gecko owners are familiar with the vocalization that leopards sometimes engage in. They can be very vocal when handled specially if they are a little WIREY! I am sure I am not the only one that has heard them vocalize. Anyway maybe your gecko needs closer evaluation. Does this occur on exhalation? Have you ever heard a male rattle his tail during the breeding season?
 
Could be a possible respiratory problem. Do you use a dusty substrate?
 
A few of mine make a clicking noise when I hold them, not always but sometimes. Ity sounds like a bunch of clicks right in a row. Like Chad said, it is just them vocalizing there annoyance with what ever you are doing to them, be it holding them, etc.
