Last spring Jon Boone rated Gekko spp for us on noise level and parental
care, with tokays and green-eyes at the top for both, and G.ulikovskii
at the bottom for their quiet voice and infanticidal/cannibalistic activities.
One Gekko that wasn't rated was the marbled gecko, G.grossmanni. I've
been corresponding with someone who describes their male's voice as 'a
trill' and 'not something that would wake anybody up'. He's been removing
the eggs so hasn't observed parental care - his female has mostly been laying
on the substrate, so gluing isn't a problem.
Anyone here have experience with these geckos? One person's trill is
another's reptilian fire alarm, and my spouse is a light sleeper, so
I'd like to get some more data points. I'd like to try a Gekko sp with
the social behaviour of G.smithii but without the GEKKK!!-in-the-night
behaviour, if such an animal exists!
