Strange question about my tokay gecko

[stkkts]

last night, i put my tokay gecko on his back while holding him in my hand, and i started rubbing his belly. he became very calm, I could see he was still breathing, occasionall his legs would move, but for the most part he was still. When i turned him back over to put him in his enclosure, he didnt move for a few seconds, and then he was really slow to move, as if he was groggy, and then he kinda scampered away.

I know some people say they are hypnotizing animals, but in reality, they are turning them upside down making them pass out. But geckos run upside down on ceilings all the time.

So did my tokay gecko actually enjoy this, or did he just pass out?
