Also for everyone watching. Please understand that some geckos will never be super calm or enjoy holding. If you’re getting a reptile you need to be ready to accept whatever personality it will have.

Exactly ((: I have a leopard gecko named goku and I’ve had him since he was a baby and he usually doesn’t like being held for a long time but for short amounts of time he doesn’t mind and he really likes roaming around on my bed (with supervision obviously)

@emberpawthefox3626 3 жыл бұрын

Yeah, one of my geckos loves to be held, but the other one doesn’t tolerate it. So, I can definitely say that there is a difference in personality.

@jupiter8037 3 жыл бұрын

Mine (his name is jellybean :> ) doesn't seem to mind and sometimes appears to enjoy being out to explore since we bring him outside sometimes (with the proper precautions ofcourse) and he just goes around licking everything and sometimes making himself comfy under something soft, but he will get skittish after long periods of time. Another interesting thing I noticed about my gecko is that he was "potty trained" since we got him and always, always poops in the same spot and never when he's out of his tank (only once, and I believe i took him out just when he was about to go so 🤷)

Baby leopard geckos can be so cute and so FRUSTRATING by just using objects wrong. Mealworm bowl = bed Water bowl = toilet Cold hide = hide from spooky human Heating = yes lets sleep in the cold all day and go basking at night.

This babe seems very friendly. My advice, don’t give up if they aren’t approachable at first. Our Leo didn’t seem to be interested in us and suddenly he couldn’t get enough. He sees us and begs to come out 😊He loves to sit on top of people’s heads, of course we always have more than one person around when he goes up just in case.

@emilysandahl127 3 жыл бұрын

Mine still squeaks sometimes bc he learned that I come to his tank when he squeaks, I’m nervous that he’s hurt, so now at 10pm right when I’m falling asleep, he squeaks so I check on him and he’s at his little door, cute but annoying at times :)

@short_stack 3 жыл бұрын

Sitting within a little pet fence is helpful cuz they can get off of you and explore and come back to you as they please. Plus if they dart, they cant get away. I've personally waited some months before starting to handle them, but that's just me cuz I didn't want to have to remove hides and stuff to grab at them. I wanted a slower more positive relationship after they get comfy and more curious about me.

@experimentalspices7782 3 жыл бұрын

A tip for easy cleaning is to place a small piece of napkin of paper towel where you notice them pooping. This makes it much quicker and easier without having to move everything around to grab the towel underneath. It also means you go through paper towels at a fraction the rate.
