    1. Yes, but some gecko species do really glows under UV lighting. Posted 3 years ago
      1. I tried to find some info about why the tail might not glow, but couldn't find anything. It's intriguing, whatever the cause. Posted 3 years ago
        1. Yea, same here.
          I suspect there are some difference in 'elements' on the detachable part of the tail.
