Re: Strange licking behaviour
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

Re: Strange licking behaviour
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

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

Re: Strange licking behaviour
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.
