Geckos display intriguing behaviors and have notable instincts. Some prominent behaviors and instincts include their climbing ability, sticky toe pads, and tail autotomy (ability to shed their tail as a defense mechanism). When training geckos as pets, it’s essential to create a positive and consistent environment, use reward-based techniques, and handle them gently to build trust. Patience and understanding their individual temperament are key factors in successful gecko training.
