I'm fine with taking time. I'm afraid of handling him too much. Not because I can't tell when he is stressed but more because I don't know if my goals will be reached if I stress him out.
My goal with the gecko which is to be able to hold him as long as I wish (realizing he has temperature...
So I didn't do a ton of research before starting to handle. I did know to not to touch his tail and not to grab too tightly.
What I have done... I started holding him for short periods about 15 min. He does run around a bit and doesn't seem to get too nervous.
I did hold him tight enough...
I think the leo I just got has eaten crickets his whole life and will not eat meal worms or wax worms.
He eats enthusiastically when it comes to crickets (no impaction)
He's medium size about 6 inches and his tail isn't very fat. Plus I want to introduce a varied diet.
Any ideas on how...
