Getting Bit

WHAT NOT TO DO:  If your gecko bites you out of  anger it is most likely because you have a Tokay Gecko and they have anger issues.  But if you get bit DO NOT yank your hand away.  If your gecko doesn't let go and you yank your hand away it can catapult your gecko across the room, causing broken bones or death.



CLEANING THE BITE:  If the bite doesn't puncture your skin just simply wash the bite in warm soapy water and you'll be fine.  If the bite does puncture your skin you will want to soak it in rubbing alcohol or hydrogen peroxide so the bite doesn't get infected.


Warning picture below does have blood in it.
