For a child who loves reptiles or the person that has allergies and cannot own a pet with hair, an excellent option is a pet Gecko.  These reptiles come in a number of species, one of the most popular being the Leopard Gecko.  This is a small reptile, so it makes a great choice when there is limited space, as well.  For this particular article, we want to use the Leopard species as the example.This pet Gecko has actually been bred in captivity for more than 30 years and due to selective breeding, it has amazing color and color combinations.  In addition, this type of pet is easy to handle and care for, making it an ideal pet for someone with no experience with pets or the person that has owned pets all his or her life.

It's difficult to know what our beloved pets want; doubly so when they have no facial expressions and can't make many sounds.

Here's a quick and easy way to communicate with your snake! Specifically, finding out where they'd like to go! I start out by playing a game I call "airplane" where they are the pilot and my hand flies them around. At first they usually don't realize they are in control, and I usually end up slowly flying them into a wall. When they look away from the wall I'll fly in that direction. Some catch on faster than others, but at a certain point your pet will realize, "Hey, I go whatever direction I'm looking in!" and instead of being a helpless passenger being carried, they actively decide what they'd like to explore!

Learning this is great as it not only gives them a way to communicate with you and feel empowered, but it will also encourage them to try to communicate even even not being held. It's a great way to let your snake explore if you can't let them go on the ground and free roam.

In this video you can see a very simple example of how this helped me know where Scoria wanted to be put in her enclosure. She directed me where she wanted to go, and once I had her in the correct place, off she went!

Once your pet realizes they can communicate with you, it's important to pay attention and reward their behavior (so long as it will not put them in danger) to reinforce that this action works. They might even try other actions to communicate specific things- Scoria made up her own gesture for "I'm tired and want to go to bed for the night." She'll dig with her nose at the palm of my hand- and only does it then! I'm curious if anyone else's snake created their own "words".

(This is different than even Scoria burrows between my fingers. Maybe times she will sweetly nuzzle them too. That's play and affection! Palm digging is only for when she's done for the day, I think she was trying to communicate she wanted to burrow to her den to sleep, and me putting her to bed enforced this, so we both know her doing this action results in her being put back.)

New son just dropped!!

This is Morse Code Red (or just Morse) my new crested gecko! He's a red bicolour dalmation with high white expression which was my dream crestie for a long time. I work for the breeder I got him from so it feels even more personal to get to keep him as my own ❤️
