Unpacking your gecko

[aptorgirl]

how should i go about unpacking my gecko once he arrives?

edit: i meant should i handle him or not to get him out of the cup or should i set the cup in the cage and let him walk out

There really is no set way to unpack them. Just try to get them all out of the box without flipping or dropping their deli cups. Sooner you get them out the better obviously.

Just rip/cut the take off and dig in.

May as well keep the box too. Insulated shipping boxes are not cheap, why not save money and keep some styrofoam out of the landfills by reusing them.

* keep box they come in handy too!

* let the gecko sit on a shelf in the deli cup for a few house (especially if the gecko arrives a bit cool like in the winter) to acclimate to the new smells and surroundings before putting it in its new enclosure
