It may be real stressed out by the move. You will want to let it be for a week or two so it can settle into his new home.

some pet stors are horrible with horrible conditiond most reptiles with horrible conditions are very doctile becase they are unhealthy so when you gave it the proper care you put it back into natrual mode and now its how it is in its nature, so give it time to tame it, pick it up and play with him, it will be a challenge but it works iv done it, o and if its full grown u might want to ware gloves lol just sayen good luck hope this helps

Mine was the smallest out of the group of 4 it was in, but i was the nicest lookin out of the group, there was minimum lighting on its tank, when i picked it up it was cold, But when mine finnally got some heat on it he/she became crazy lol.

younger ones tend to be a little more aggressive too. and definitely probably stressed. i wouldn't try to feed until you know it'll be nice and hungry because the worms or crickets can actually add to the stress. i've never seen an aggressive adult.

Are you using lights for heat?

Yea he/she is very aggressive, and is not eating at all, i tried to put it in a container with some meal worms and put it in my second bedroom in the dark and it still refused to eat.

I use a daylight UVB bulb and a red one for night time, i also use a Zilla UTH.

Heres a pic of it anyway of telling if its a Morph or not? I think its jus a high yellow but it seems that the spots on it's back are gonna leave when it sheds the spots jus kinda look like they are above the skin.

Get rid of the light and get a UTH (under tank heater). They are nocternal so there is no need for lights. They should get all the vitamins they need from dusting. Btw your gecko looks like a high yellow in that picture.

I have one that I hatched and he was a demon out of the egg and he still isnt an angel by any means, lol. After a year.....I figure this is his personality. he has been handled alot and has the correct husbandry and he is still not a "people" gecko.

wow thats really not like a leo. i have one thats female, and she's a little tentative to me or anyone now. She's about 5 years. After about 2 years I introduced her to another female, and they didn't see fit with each other. I separated them, and ever since the one seems like tormented, doesn't like to be handled anymore. She's healthy and everything. It's actually really interesting (animal psychology). Not sure what her problem is, but she's a b*tch now.
