Yeah, this is the first time I heard a gecko scream in person, and it was only when I touched him the first day, and when I picked up the incubation box. My adults have only squeaked at me when I hit them with a spray bottle when they were still about 5 inches long.
I'm not sure if this is something they usually do, but this one will jump at my hand while screaming. For such small vulnerable animals, they sure have a lot of spirit!
I noticed that (spirit!) in the video that I linked to- screaming & even trying to bite her hand! Too funny- but that's the only way to survive if you're that tiny.
