Hello from Colorado!

[wolfluvr71]

Just got my first Leopard Gecko today. Not sure what kind he is. Hes pretty skittish and actually hissed at me earlier but im hoping he'll calm down soon.
I have a lot of experience with lizards. Had many green anoles, panther gecko, crested gecko, long tailed grass lizard, chameleon, iguana and also have a salamander currently in his metamorhposis.

Give him a couple weeks with minimal handling to settle down. He'll also chill out as he gets a bit bigger.

Welcome to Gecko Forums and congrats on your new friend!!

Aw! What a cute little gecko! I love leos!!! And he is just young thats why he is so small and skinny... But you want a young gecko they will have a longer life with you!

Salamander isn't a lizard so it dont count but I forgive you lol. But happy to have you aboard. Yeah give the little monster some time He'll calm down soon.

Haha I know salamanders arent lizards but amphibians but I still love him as much as my lizards.
