Hi Everyone...

[Jennifer Linn]

I just wanted to stop by and say hi to everyone. My first two Leos arrived on thursday. I got a little Normal female and a Tangerine Tremper Albino female.
I got an awesome deal because they have small imperfections. They are really cute and I have always liked and wanted a Leo, so I got two. I can't wait till they start coming out more.

What is the general rule of thumb as far as letting them settle in before handling them? I know with my snakes it's usually a week or so... Do I have to wait that long?

Welcome to GF Jennifer. It all depends on the Leos personality. I have had some that was calm on day one and others that took three months to settle down enough to handle. If the Leo gets restless give them their space but if they are calm than they are usually ok to handle.

Thankyou for your response. I think I'll wait a few more days, I don't want to stress them out.

Yep, it can take a few days or a little longer.
