Talking lizards

Do your lizards talk?

I was relaying this to a couple of friends earlier, and I had no idea geckos were so vocal!!

I have just recently experienced my first barking baby Leopard.. It was HILARIOUS :8:

So... Do your lizards/geckos talk to you???

I cant wait to go home and see if my new leo wants to talk :)

I have a golden gecko and have never heard him make a sound. It would be neat if he did though! After having him 5 years, I doubt he'll speak up now :weirdface

My geckos don’t but if they start talking like the one in the geico commercial they'll be famous :8:

Seriously they don't but I was told they will once they will be breeding.

Supposedly mine can, but she never has. If she ever has an egg to protect I'll probably hear a bunch of noise from her.

I've heard the occasionally gravely complaint from my leopards. You want to talk about a bark noise...go poke one of my tokay females when they don't want to be messed with :P

I've heard that some leos scream when you mist them...?

Heather my Cresties talk at about 3am... they sound like a mix between a Gremlin, an Ewok, and maybe a very small Wookie!

My uromastyx don't really talk. I have a huge male moroccan who will hiss and wave his spiked tail at me though :rofl:

i know we talked about this earlier, but i wanted to add that helmeted geckos (diminuative desert species) actually use little clicks and barks for advanced communication. they live in small groups and supposedly even lean towards social interaction with their vocalizations. i've not seen it first hand though...

My Water Dragon sometimes hisses at me... does that count? :D

I've heard my cresties chirp, but like Laooda said, very late at night and it's usually when one of my males is gettin frisky...:rolleyes:

Oh yes, my geckos bark. Mainly at night time, but they definitely do.

They actually bark? wow... I hear my geckos make a chirp sound every once in a while.

LOL i didnt know cresteds made noise... now ill be up all night hoping to hear it!

of course, hes my only one... so he might need the influence of a pretty lady friend... :D

All the younger leo's I've had make noise. My breeders don't though.

My Cresties chirp, thats the only way I can explain it. Its only when one or more are housed together.

Now my Tokay on the other hand is LOUD. Every night, several times a night I hear Tok-aaayy over, and over, and over again.

I have figured out how to make him do it too. I go upstairs, turn on the light in the bedroom for a few minutes, than leave and turn it off. Never fails, within 5 minutes he is at it again. I think its the mating call.

Its so loud you can hear it out on our street lol
