But I have always done that.........What a second we just switched my soap to a anti-bacterial soap instead of watermelon. Do you think that could do it????
I wonder if it is the smell??? I never thought of that???
I don't know what it is but I am beginning to think they don't like me much. :(
:Just a wild thought, but cresties are a favourite food item of many life-forms back in New Caledonia. They must be delicious judging by the list of animals that prey on them. With that in mind, could your geckos be smelling the bearded dragon on your hands (or clothes) when you reach for them? They might never run into one in the wild, but there's a possibility that they recognize the smell of a possible predator.
:I find my cresties have good and bad days as far as wanting to be handled. Maybe yours are just going through a phase.
:Or, there could be something that's making them edgey such as te smell I mentioned, of even something about you - such as perfume? As an example, mine really reacted strangely to a male visitor everytime he wore a particular colonge. When he wasn't wearing it, they were great with him. Took a while to narrow it down, but that was the problem.
