My leo likes me!

She has finally decided I am not going to eat her or something!

Everytime I put my hand in her tank to do anything she comes right over and climbs up my arm. She is a little jumpy so I try to be careful to hold her over something incase she falls. So now I try to handle her every day so she is less afraid. She is still afraid of Katie because she moves too quickly and startles Ducky.

Re: My leo likes me!

Hello,

Once they are use to being handled, they seem to enjoy coming out to "explore". Glad things are going well!

Re: My leo likes me!

Do you let the leo's walk around their room or do you keep them on your body (hand or arm)?

I am afraid is she gets down on the floor she will take off. I don't have any other animals that would chase her. The only animal that is usually loose is the rabbit and would more than likely be afraid of the gecko.

Re: My leo likes me!

I used to let my Leopard Geckos run around on my bed or on the floor, just kept a close eye on them or would make a circle of something to keeping them from escaping, lol

Re: My leo likes me!

I'll let the geckos run around supervised, but they usually just head for the laundry pile and try to get comfy and take a nap. As long as the room is 'lizard proofed' so there aren't any holes in the walls or under furniture or things like that some exploring would be alright.
