How long?

[sammie261989]

When you got your baby gecko how long did it take for him/her to get used to you and enjoyed getting picked up? I try to handle my baby leo on a regular basis so she like to be held and not scared of me, but she is always jumping out of my hand, or when i try to pick her up she wiggles crazy and then when i try to catch her in her tank she runs from me haha i usually catch her in the corner cause she cant go no where. how can i make her less stressed out when i try to capture her?

Hey, this is a common question lol. Just put your hand in the tank whenever you have the time, palm up for a couple minutes. Your leo will get used to you and know that you arent a predator. My leo Buddy runs out of his hide everytime i stick my hand in and runs to check it out lol

My leos are always watching me, no matter how far or close i am to their tank.

But I agree with Buddytheleo's method. eventually, you baby leo will get used to your hand and your scent.
