While I haven’t owned / lived with these guys in a long while. I decided I would re-post some videos and pictures of all the strange creatures I used to care for. Today’s post is for my Leaf-Tail Geckos.

All leaf-tails are from Madagascar. These guys of the Henkeli variety, which is the second largest. They require warm surroundings as they are cold blooded, as well as frequent misting as they are used to rain forest climes. They eat primarily insects, but might also sip on nectar if provided. I used to roll live crickets around in vitamin dust before feeding them.

Here’s a video of my pair of Leaf-tail Geckos feeding at night. They like to rear up on their hind legs and pounce on their prey. Their feet are covered in fine hair, which makes them able to stick to just about any surface (they liked to sleep in the top corner of the aquarium).

And while these isn’t technically my gecko, this one is of a similar gecko, and it’s really funny. Remember that these guys are completely harmless!
