Freaky!!!

Okay, I should have known better..!!!

My Lilo was in her humid hide all day and in shed faze, since I knew it was coming I was waiting for her to come out some I could spray it down to add more humidity as it dries out very quickly. It's not a hide with a bottom so I can't get her out that easily or rather not like freaking her out by prodding my fingers in and pushing her out.

So, I figured if she ain't comin' out, I'll spray anyways. A fine mist won't hurt and she needs the humidity. I filled my spray bottle with lukewarm water and made sure the mist was really fine.

I go and spray a little. My little cute Lilo comes out in a dash open mouthed shrieking!!! I've never heard so much as a peep out of her and now she let out a shriek that can only be compared to a miniature version of what the veloce raptors sounded like in Jurassic Park!!! I was totally stunned!!!

Of course I didn't spray anymore, she very obviously doesn't like it!

Anybody else have weird sound stories???

Yup, I've had the same thing happen to me a couple of times... I don't spray when they're in there anymore, it obviously scares the **** out of them

That scream is something else!

My blizzard male is soooo nervous, he went after a super and then he didnt have the room to turn around so he shrieked and ran into his hide! that was the 3rd time he shrieked since i got him.

Lol! They hate to be sprayed but they'll get over it

I've had all my Leos "chirp" on me. My bf insists that Diggy roars at least once a day.
