Moving viv

[EvoDave101]

will moving my viv into a different place in my room stress out my leo?

he is currently quite high up, about 2 meters, an its becoming a pain while feeding as i have to strech over the top of the viv, also it is in quite a dark corner of my room

can anyone give me any advice?

No, moving the viv shouldn't bother him at all.

ok thats good

it would be easier if he let me handle him so im gonna have to do it while hes still in the viv, i'll just have to keep it very flat

 

[fallen_angel]

The only way to get them used to being handled, or to the point to where they let you handle them without protesting, is to handle them anyway Just a thought..

 

[EvoDave101]

i would like to agree but thats mainly the reason he hates me already

hes getting better he knows that tweezers meen food an he trusts them now which is good

 

[fallen_angel]

Glad to hear he's getting better

When you get ready to move your viv empty it of all cage furniture and put
a paper towel or toilet paper core inside sit down and have a pepsi, after a
while 10-15 min your little one will be inside the tube and you can cover one
end with your hand and remove the little guy inside the tube to a temporary
home until you have the viv where you want it . Of corse this
is a good time for a complete viv cleaning , it works well. Of
corse you should handle your gecko and this may help with that as well.

While your moving it maybe put him in like a deli cup with air holes until your finished.
