Has it recently been sprayed?

I find sometimes gecko's like up the moisture from paper towls or moss when they either can't find the water bowl or simply too lazy to go for a drink lol

i haven't sprayed it for 3days as it was really wet.

maybe she cant find the bowl as she is the little black-hole with enigma problems, it looked first of all like she was licking her foot but when i took a closer look it was the moss she was licking lol

Have a lick of it yourself, and if tastes nice, then that will be why Strange licking behaviour 115578

or it may be that she is in need of a drink and so when she realised it was wet she forgot all about the bowl full of water lol.

It should be okay as long as the moss is clean and changed regularly and stuff. I don't see much harm from it, i mean as long as she is actually getting herself enough water too.
