New and Looking for Help!

[lukeandleia]

My husband and I recently got two baby leopard geckos and the male is extremely friendly and mine, the female, is very agitated. She does not hiss, or anything aggressive but I don't trust letting her wander off my hands or body on the ground because she is skittish and I fear her running off quickly.
Any tips to help calm her down, or will it just take time?

It will take a little time to calm her down. First, I suggest separating them. Then just give her a week or two to settle in. Then slowly start handling her and she will ease up a little bit.

Welcome to the forum. Russell's advice is right on the money.

Well she is new. Let her come down a little and then see if she is ok.

Welcome! I am also new. Im sure youll love it here. Everybody is so helpful and honest. I just got my first leo, jasper, and hes acting skittish but he actually let me hold him today so I would just think you need to give him time to settle down. Even just sit down and talk softly to her. I hope she calms down and welcome you
