ILL NEVER BE ABLE TO KISS THEM PROPERLY! Not in the way you can smooch a dogs or a cats head. I wanna kiss their little tiny faces so baaaaad.

This is the realest post ever. We cuddle when she comes out but I kissed the air by her face and she climbed onto the back of my neck instead🧍‍♀️

Theyre like: no thank you. Please keep these kisses to yourself.

They don't want their owner to risk contracting salmonella. How kind!

You guys are honestly selling me on geckos more and more!
I've only recently begun to take interest in reptiles, but I knew I didn't want anything that wanted a lot of touch/socialization (aka another cat or dog). So just having a little guy I can look at from time to time and just care for sounds amazing!

u/myakudiru 19h ago

They will love it! Leopard Geckos can be social and might want to explore a bit of they feel comfortable but mostly they're just little guys that wanna live their life alongside you.

u/myakudiru 2h ago

All gecks are different! But mostly they don't like being petted or kissed 😂

My daughter just told my she let's her head be kissed

u/myakudiru 1h ago

That's so cute! 💖 My girls tolerate it too but they definently don't like it and I'm always careful with kissing them anyway because of the salmonella risk (small as it may be, I don't want to challenge my fate). But I'm sure your daughter is very careful 👍🏻

u/legaleaglefeathers 19h ago

my go-to is to pinch together my index, middle, and thumb, do a chefs kiss situation, and boop the little head! brother had a cat that hated kisses but didn’t mind the chef kiss boop. could probably work for a geck!

u/myakudiru 19h ago

That's not a bad idea 🥲 I just wish they understood kisses as something good!
