Hi guys, I am very new to this hobby (as oppose to having 2 pacman frogs and 1 whites tree frog), my gf finally got me a leo gecko as my late christmas gift. But its been a week and my gecko (gf named him/her gec gec) is super skittish. Whenever I go to my room and turn on the room light, he would sprint back into the hide and will not come out. I tried to handle him 3 times (big mistake, should of waited longer) with little or no luck. But fortunately gec gec eats and poops no problem. Now comes the question... is there anyways to improve the skittish condition? And I did not get a Leo because of handling (if handling is a choice, I would get a crested instead, although that will be next on my list ), but it would be nice if I can handle him/her a little bit when I do the weekly cleaning. Is there anything I can do to improve the pet to owner experience? Any suggestion? Given that this gecko is a juvy... many thanks for your time and comments^^
