you learn something new everyday!

Viper geckos can climb glass! You guys who keep them might already know this, but i was shocked! At first I saw a peice of crap up on the glass. thinking that i had probably smeared it there by accident. yet yesterday, i saw my female viper gecko stuck on the glass opposite of end with the crap on the glass. She was sticking to the wall!! i had no idea that viper geckos could stick to glass.

bidden, you were right about large crickets being the problem. I havent seen any regurgatation since.


Thanks, Geoff

Ill try to snap a photo next time.

they dont have toe pads...... i dont know how this was possible. He may have braced himself in the corner of the tank and pushed his way up... but this wouldnt explain how he was hanging stuck on the middle of the glass. Or why there was a peice of his crap stuck on a different part of the glass. Its really weird. ill have to get a picture next time.
