I kinda' want a gecko now too. Why would you want to laser that little guy? I suppose it wouldn't be too bad to just burn off the tail: at least those grow back.

Even as a kid, I could never bring myself to torture little animals. You've got to be a little suspicious of children who pull the wings off flies....Still, I can't say I don't get a kick out of that video of the mosquito being shot down with a 405nm. Mosquitoes are bastards.

Uh...I love geckos!!! I wanted to get one for a long time, but the one with the sticky feet. I want to watch it running on the ceiling :)
Btw, the words "laser" and "kill" don't and won't go together well, especially on this forum.

^ There's some, here, that time by time i found on the walls and ceiling of my shop :p ..... usual grey ones, we don't have rare species, here (and no "sticky fingers", just claws, on our ones :p)

I never found from where they come in, or from where they go away ..... I usually left them go whenever they want, cause til now, none of them caused any problem ..... also, i like them (but is practically impossible to tame a wild one, i suppose) ..... and, more important thing, i HATE mosquitos, and they eat them (or, at least, is supposed that they do this :D)

Geckos are so nice...
And their ability to run on walls and ceilings is something!
I remember reading about the sub-atomic force, very very small per one pair of atoms but when in visible quantities the force they create is enough to hold cute little gecko on the wall...

*runs off to wikipedia*

Just read it...
Von der Waals force - suspected to contribute to Geckos ability to climb glass but there are some new findings that explain that Waals may not be the only one responsible ...
Researches is still being cunducted on the mysterious Geckos.

Also, says that only one toe of gecko can hold it's entire body.

This thread is now about geckos.
Well, the thread is better when it is about geckos, instead of killing animals with lasers.
I started to like geckoes only by looking at those pics.
I never saw one in person I think.

They are cute aren't they

Time to rename this thread to "The Ultimate Gecko Fan Club" thread.

OMG They ARE cute!

You took that photo?

How do you hold them as pets, they can run around your house or you keep them in a glass box (however you call it) ?

How friendly are they, do they run away and hide from humans (like most reptiles commonly found in Cro) ?
Need to know more about those cute little Geckos!

Van der Waals? That's weird...

Van der Waals consist of two parts:
Instantaneous dipoles, which are caused by random movement of electrons around a nucleus making a part of a molecule exert a mild positive charge while the other part exerts a mild negative charge.
And Induced dipoles, which take place because either the area with a negative charge meets another molecule and pushes the electrons away from the area it is close to, inducing a positive charge in it or an area with a positive charge attracts the electrons of a nearby molecule creating a region of negative charge.

I can't see how an animal would utilise this to stick to stuff... It seems to me it would make more sense for them to have... idk... feet with a permanent dipole (so they could Hydrogen bond to surfaces... lol...).

What sorts of environments do those sorts of Geckos live in?

no I didn't take that picture. I just snagged it quick off the net. To be honest I've had chameleons as pets, an iguana, but not yet a gecko. (It would be bad to have one around our dogs. besides my other half hates reptiles.) However, sooner or later, a gecko is most definitely on the list of critters to own.

As for ANY reptile, how they behave depends on the environment you raise them in. You want to get them young. If they become accustomed to you, and the environment you place them in, then you can very much let them run around a bit. However certain problems like small children, dogs, or cats, tend to be a little hard on lizards. Pictures like this one here are the exception when it comes to pet lizards and dogs.

Again, am I supposed to demand it back with the reason that he can't be trusted with it?
Yes. Exactly. That would be the exact reason, and the truth. Nothing wrong with telling someone that.

Adults usually aren't fond of someone whom they see as a kid telling them that THEY'RE the ones acting like an irresponsible moron, no matter how much tact you put into it.
But yet you BOTH are adults, right? Just because he's your big brother doesn't mean you can't speak to him like an adult about an adult subject (safety and legal consequences), demand your property be returned, and that he never can use it again (at least until he shows proper safety precautions). Two adults should easily be able to handle that conversation, regardless of being related or not, and regardless of whether the younger is speaking to the older or not.

If that's not something two adults can take care of "man to man" then there's a problem.

Look it up on Wiki, it mentions the Van der Waals as probable cause of Geckos abilities.
I don't know what to tell ya, I am not much experienced nor knowledgeable of the subject. Sorry.

Wow, that is so nice!
Having a little Gecko climb up on your shoulder to see what the hell are you doing with all the flashy light on your table ;)
I would not have ANY of your mentioned problems, as the only pet I have atm is a German Shephard (we bought it last weekend! Damn! 3 months old!),
No small kids running around nowhere close.
I would lack the space to place it in, to make his own place.

I love your picture there BTW, pardon me for making myself an idiot here,
But what kind of reptile am I looking at here?
I can see the dog thinking:"The hell do you want , get offa me , I'm trying to get some sleep here!"
