The Leopard Gecko - Dukey

Here is Dukey. He is a Mack Snow Male leopard gecko. I've had him for about 3 years, since he was the tiniest hatchling. As you can see he is Yellow but he was born all white and black with no yellow.

I keep him well fed but not fat, like many leopard geckos out there now adays.

Really? I think he's quite small to be honest. You should have seen my old female I used to have she was huuge! I'll try getting some pics she was around 10 inches or so.

Re: The Leopard Gecko - Dukey

I wouldn't call dukey obese lol. I'd say he's good weight for a captive animal. Remember leopard geckos tails are a lot thicker than most lizards in comparison to their body. They store a lot in there loll

Re: The Leopard Gecko - Dukey

I have got bitten by one. To be honest I would rather get bitten by a Gecko than a snake any day. A gecko I don't think hurts that much it just bleeds a lot sometimes. As with a smaller snake they clamp on and sometimes they start constricting your hand and twisting. I got bit by a small garter snake that I caught and I think it hurt more than a gecko bite. Although I am kind of used to it as when my gecko was a baby he was easily startled and liked to bite me.

Yeah, I have. I had one of my big males hang on to me for a good 20 seconds.

Re: The Leopard Gecko - Dukey

Theyre power is amazing. Specifically the leopards compared to other geckos. Not only do they hang on but sometimes the press HARD and loosen up, HARD and loosen up, HARD ..... etc. you get the idea.
