My new leopard gecko is pretty shy, and I need to clean it out this weekend and it's REALLY shy and I don't know how I'm going to be able to clean it out. I would like if someone could tell me how I could get my leopard gecko out of the enclosure and safely in a box or somewhere it's easy to keep an eye on it. I finally got it to eat the other day and it ate a lot and isn't hungry anymore (it's a juvenile or at least the breeder says so but it's about three and a half inches long) and it pooped and I think this Saturday or tomorrow I need to clean everything out even though I got rid of most of the visible poop. Thanks for any and all help! I just don't want it to be scared of me!
Help With Cleaning New Leopard Gecko's Cage?

I only have one, but I can get another. I'm thinking about maybe switching to paper towel one time then carpet the next, but that might be confusing. I can get one at my local pet store. I was just there today but had no money with me. I just hope it works out because I don't want to freak it out.

Do you have a small enough box to fit inside it's 'house'? If so remove it's other hides and carefully direct it into the box and you should be ok and cause minimal stress.

I had this problem with my leo because he was aggressive and had not been tamed yet, what i did was got a tupperware container poked holes in the lid set the container inside the tank on its side with lid off and lured my gecko into the container with a wax worm, when he walked inside to get the waxworm i would tip the container right side up put the lid back on and removed the container from his cage.
