leopard geckos

[tryme]

[Zoey]

I always thought it was their ears... but I dunno.

 

[tryme]

hmm very strange...doesnt anybody know?

"If you hold a light up to a Leopard Gecko's ear you will be able to see the light right through it's head! "


My guess is still the ear

 

[Jacob Gonzales]

it is the ear you are both correct

 

[Zoey]

Thats pretty amazing

Now I know this isn't a snake thread but someone was trying to out smart me in a reptile talk. Being that I have 10 Reptiles and he has none I thought I would have more knowledge about it. Sound waves go through the holes and they act as a reciever and they can hear correct?

 

[RhettusMaximus]

yep

If you see a tympanic membrane that's a pretty good clue that it's an ear...
