Sunset doesn't want to go on me?

So, my leopard gecko sunset usually walks right onto my hand when I put it in. The past few times I've tried, all she's done is lick me. She still acts completely normal otherwise. I recently took out a couple of things that didn't need to be in her tank that she never uses. One I took out because I want to give it to my snake (of coarse, I'll get sunset's smell off it first). Does anyone know why she's doing this? Maybe it's because I removed some stuff, but I've moved around the stuff in her tank before and she's been fine.

While it is possible that you removing things made her a bit uneasy and she is trying to re-acclimate to her environment, chances are just as good that you just caught her in a less friendly mood.
Just from reading what people say about their Leos here, talking with others, and observing my 2, I definitely think each Leo has their own personality. I have had similar experiences with Apollo. There are times when he wants me to just leave him alone and others when he is very eager to climb on my hand. I wouldn't worry too much about it. Just keep trying every now and then and I am sure Sunset will decide to come hang out with you again :)

I know all leos have their days when they want to be left alone. It's just taking longer then I'd expect
