Best way to get your leo used to being held?

We bought a giant male that is 2 years old and you can tell he wasn't handled. he likes to bite and run away. We have had him 3 months now and he is calming down alot. I haven't gotten nipped by him in 3 or 4 nights!!! He seems to be better with my husband then with me. We started out just putting our hand in the tank and getting nipped on for a couple minutes. After a couple weeks of this we started just getting him out.

I got my gecko as a baby and every night before I would go to bed my mom would put her hand in to the tank and just let my gecko climb on. She is now 5 and almost never has a problem with being pick up and handled .

They havnt bred at all..or at least if they did there was no eggs

Hmmm, maybe the female just reabsorbed the eggs, or maybe one of them is infertile?

Great job on helping your big guy get better with handling

I know she didnt reabsorb them because there was none i think. I sure hope they arent infertile or one is..
