Who says Leopard Geckos don't have teeth???

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I beg to differ.

 

[LeoFan]

I hear you. Once I got bit so bad I bled through a medium towel and had to seriously contemplate going to the hospital. I still have a good sized scar on the finger.

 

[Golden Gate Geckos]

I got bit at the base of my thumb so bad it took 5 sutures!

 

[LeoFan]

Ouch!
That is a serious bite.

 

[fikken]

damn what did you do? Mine have never bitten me however i have had mine chirp at me because she was in no mood to be picked up apparently. I think if i took away their repti shelter though they'd plot my demise.

 

[gothra]

Ouch! You have one passionate gecko!

 

[spykerherps]

Why don't you show us your love bite. I thought you got a pic of it. if not, I still have a nice image ingrained in my memory.=)

 

[spykerherps]

You know , the one you got right before your St. Patties day festivities a couple years ago.

 

[fikken]

if i want to get bitten all i would have to do is take their favorite hide away

Zach, it was the same darned gecko that bit be then!!! I think he needs anger management classes.

i got chased by a blizzard once. a gecko i got from kelli named rollergirl i think had to be the meanest gecko ever LOL and she took a chunk outa me!

What's going on over at GGG? first i was suprised at how mean that blizzard GECKOFREAK got from you at the San Jose show is, and now your getting bit. You've always been know for having the sweetest geckos in the west.

Ouch! I've never been bit, and hopefully I never do, that looks pretty painful!

I know! That little blizzard was the most savage little blizzard that ever hatched here at GGG! All of my adult blizzards are puppy-dog tame. The gecko that bit me in the pic above is a SHTCTB... the father of Kelli's "Cisco". All 3 times he's bitten me it was totally unprovoked. I would send him to his room, but maybe he likes it there and that's why he bit me?

 

[THE WHISPERER]

That blizzard still hisses when you walk by its tub.

 

[BioWorkZ]

Whoa, that's a serious bite. I've only been nipped once and it tickled more than anything. I didn't know leopard geckos were capable of that. I wonder what a Tokay gecko bite looks like.

lol...either that or some gecko Valiums:main_yes:

I've got a 91g female that will take a swipe at me sometimes so I use gloves when I clean her tub out. Let just say that all my male geckos "fear" her

 

[STUTFL]

Who *does* say Leopard geckos don't have teeth? :tongue3:
I've seen 'em, I don't doubt it.

 

[Latlaw]

Well that kind of worries me. I have two baby geckos (3 mos old) and they have both snapped and hissed at me when I first got them. A few weeks ago. I want to be able to hold them but I'm not sure how to approach them. My boy Henry, 7 mos, will let me pick him up now and take him out of his tank. Could a baby draw blood with a bite? Is it best to tame them now before they get too big?

 

[STUTFL]

Like I always say, respect your gecko's ability to bite but do NOT be afraid of it. Being jittery will just make things worse.
Juvies are feisty and bite, but they rarely cause injury until they start getting bigger.

If your geckos are settled into their homes, you should be able to start taming them (though adults can be tamed as well) - there are a few threads on the subject.
