Cool View of a Gecko's Eye...

[slk93]

I caught this awesome angle of my gecko's eye this morning. Its really cool to see the lines and colors that make it up. Does anybody know if geckos actually move their eyes or just move their heads? I've never actually seen one of his eyeballs actually move.

Nice catch with the eye. I'm not sure about the eye movement issue Mine seem to be fixed and they move their heads to view...She looks alittle thin you should fatten her alittle more.

i am positive they move their eyes, i spend a lot of time with mine, and sometimes the subtle movements really give them a wide variety of expressions...

i can tell for sure that certain ones really enjoy having their neck rubbed like little puppies, when the eyes roll back into the head and they lift their necks, you can be sure the eyes move!!
