Why is my gargoyle gecko squeaking?
A squeak is a startle or distress response, most often triggered by being grabbed, by sudden movement, or by another gecko.
Do gargoyle geckos bark?
Yes. Barking is a territorial vocalization, typically from mature males and directed at another gecko.
Are gargoyle geckos louder than crested geckos?
Generally no. Both are vocal and make similar sounds, but crested geckos are usually reported as the noisier of the two.
Should I be worried if my gecko growls at me?
Not about its health. A growl, especially with an open mouth, is a defensive warning that it wants space.
Do gargoyle geckos make noise at night?
Yes. They are nocturnal, so activity and vocalizing peak after dark.
