Too much attention?

[marraeco8311]

How much attention would you reccommend?
I spend around 10-15 mins a night to every other night with each of my 5 geckos. The male seems to crave being out with me a lot. As soon as I put him up he is ready to come back out and play. He will climb to the tops of the branch in his cage and just sit or lean up on his back two legs against the tank trying to reach the top. I don't want to hold him too much or too little? What do you guys think?

We get most of ours out 15 minutes every other night. I have a couple that I get out alot more often. My 2 male tremper giants seem to like being out and being held. I think it just depends on the gecko.

I think it's up to each individual gecko. Some of our geckos love to be handled for long periods of time, several times a week.

If you're handling him 15 minutes each night and he does well, then you would be fine to hang out with him a bit longer if you want to. They are hearty animals... I wouldn't be worried about too much or too little.

Hope that helps!

Sounds like he wants to get to your females!

He lives with the females full time.
