Amazing geckos, I've never heard of them... the whole skin pulling off thing definitely adds to their weirdness. I love their scales though!

If that's just from grabbing it, I'd hate to see a burn injury!!

Poor little thing!!

I still think it would be uncomfortable to slough your skin off... even if it's a defensive mechanism.  Tongue
