Crested Gecko sounds

[zack]

i know nothing about them but i read online that a Crested Gecko sounds like a bird (creping) is this true

 

[NathanSoto]

Haha yeah sometimes its high pitched and sometimes its more mellow depending on the gecko, ive heard some that sound like cherps of birds or mice and some that sound more like a toucan haha its weird and very interesting.

There are different vocalizations that you may hear. Grunts and chirps are pretty common when two are mating, and sometimes a wheezing or clicking sound can be heard if they are being handled in a way that bothers them. I've heard a good variety of noises coming from the collection I have, so be prepared for anything.

the other day i accidentally scared my crestie. he made a short, high pitched squeak and then proceeded to bite me.
it was only a quick nip which didn't hurt at all...it was more startling than anything. i'd liken his teeth to low grain sandpaper just put against my skin haha

To me they sound exactly like a squeek toy. I had one hatchling that didnt seem at all impressed with the world, he came out squeeking and biting like nobodys business!

I find vocalizations one of my favorite things about my herps. I keep only male frogs for this reason. It's awesome when it's storming out and it sets them off.

I'm still waiting for my first Tokay call, as mine is still a little young . . . can't wait! My breeding groups of cresties make a raspy noise while they are breeding. They usually make the noise after all of the lights are off. I have timers on all of the enclosure lights, but they always wait until the room lights are off to breed. Amazing creatures.
