..something interesting i noticed...please read,

[tangerineman]

many times i use my nose to 'connect' to the geckos when i first meet them instead of my hands since i am washing them so much, i figured i touch my nose to there's they identify me, voila...

well, this works fine, but something i noticed...and several times...
i had a gecko near my face/mouth, and i swear i felt them blow air out of their ear holes...

now i know that they can open and close them, so this kind of muscle control doesn't really surprise me, but wondering if anyone else gets this close to their geckos where they would notice this?,

more than one ocassion i definitely felt air blow out from there, and it was not my breathing,
put your mouth against a leos neck and see ...if they do this...
if you trust your animals will not bite you doing this, of course...

Thanks, I got bit on the nose .. :main_laugh: (joking)

I tried that on 4 males and no confirmation from me.

I think you're feeling air from their nose...since the nostril and earhole more or less are at the same alignment...

I always put my head near them, and can feel their inhale and exhale all the time.
