    Re: Ferry - Rhacodactylus Chahoua (Chewie)

    Wow, it's been a while since I posted on Ferry. Status quo.

    He's hit or miss with his gel food and usually eats it 2X-3X a week while I offer 4X times. He eats a few insects 1-2X a week as well (covered in calcium).

    He seems to skip the gel food the most the days he sees the Leopard Geckos eat (they are across the room). Maybe I am looking into it, but he seems to hold out waiting for them the few days I do no align feedings.

    Either way, he's maintaining weight around 60-62G. He's a fun guy. He gets super excited for insects and will eat gel out of my hand. He's also very docile and unlike his "sister," Ezzy, a leachie, he doesn't try to END ME every time I pick him up out of his tank. He's more curious and easy going and NOT cage defensive. Nothing against Ezzy, I love her too, but it's funny the different in cage personalities.

    Ferry's looking good. He's such a sweet guy too.

    Geez, he's so cute! And I love the way these guys lick their "lips" as they climb around, it's so funny. I suppose it's just the equivalent of a snake flicking it's tongue,
    but you never see snakes wiping their eyeballs with their tongues either. Geckos are just so special. Thanks for sharing yours.

    Ferry had his tank cleaned today and spent some time with me. What a cutie!

    Re: Ferry - Rhacodactylus Chahoua (Chewie)

    Ferry bit me! He got spooked/cage defensive and nailed me! He didn't break the skin and let me pick him right up once he realized it was me and I wasn't going to hurt him.

    Kind of funny as he was the last guy I expected to nail me. He's so calm and sweet. Oh, well, can scratch that off my list of things that won't happen.

    He's doing really well and generally, pretty docile.

    Re: Ferry - Rhacodactylus Chahoua (Chewie)

    Well, it seems Ferry is getting cage defensive just like Ezzy. He nailed me 3 times when I went to pick him up today to clean his cage.

    He lunge/strikes/bites, but it doesn't hurt or do much damage. I used the same gloves I use for Ezzy, got him out, and he was fine.

    I guess it's good that he is happy and wants to "DEFEND THIS HOUSE" just like Ezzy. However, I'd prefer he not. Oh, well.

    I don't think handling him more would help as that makes zero issue, in my experience, with cage defensiveness.

    Any thoughts are welcomed. Otherwise, GLOVES ON! .
