I don't know if you've read the post titled gecko behavior on 12/16, but long story short. I've had my leo arabesque for about 1 week and two days. I haven't tried to handle him until this past Tuesday 12/16, well he opened his mouth in a warning so I left him alone for two nights and my patient has paid off! I got lucky tonight!! He let me pick him up:main_laugh: he even crawled across my back while I laid on the floor of course. I started out standing but as he crawled higher up my arm I got lower to the floor, LOL! SO my sister had to get him off my back and after that I figured out how to keep him from getting on my back again. My cats like to sit on my back too LOL! All in all it was a great experience from my first reptile pet!!! He's so cool!! I can't wait to handle him again!
Thanks Jess!! :main_yes:

Aw. I know how you feel. I was really excited the first time I picked up Tiamat. I was at the pet store where I got her and I was holding her as I was talking to the store clerk. She ambled up my jacket sleeve and rested under my jacket's collar. I probably could have walked out with her just snuggled under there but it was really cold outside. lol

Anyway, congrats! *confetti!*

I'm glad to hear that he came out on his own!! Sounds like you had a lot of fun with him and that he's adjusting to his home very well It's always nice to see one of our babies go to a great place with such a caring owner

Lol, I remember what it felt like to hold Kiya and Ares for the first time. I was a little afraid of holding any reptile at first, but when I saw Kiya it was love at first sight! I held her in the store, and apparently she really liked me because she walked all over me, which they said she had never done for anyone else.

Ares was a different story. He was purchased from the previous owner, so I never had to chance to hold him until I bought him. I found him very intimidating so I held off on holding him for a few days. When I finally did, I realized he is a big suck. As long as you don't disturb him if he is sleeping on you, all is good. Lol
