Yes. However, the gecko only bites when frightened or if he mistakes your fingers for food. Also, they don't really have 'teeth' so their bite is very mild and startles you much more than it hurts. Most times it wont even break the skin!
Not usually, my gecko never really bites unless you ticked him off. So only if there young and messing with him.

Yes geckos that are not tame or that are defensive or feel insecure and threatened will squirm and bite. Also if the gecko is irritated with you and you are annoying it, if they are not tame most will attempt to take a nip at you.

Yes. They are small and sharp but they are present on both the lower and upper jaw. Leopard geckos use their teeth not only for defense against predators and as an aid to catch prey, but also to help peel off their shedding skin.

Crested geckos are not an aggressive species of gecko. They would much rather run away from a predator than to stand it's ground as a tokay gecko would or green eyed gecko. Crested geckos are an omnivorous specie of gecko and their diet includes many fruits and saps. Due to this, the animals do not have as strong of jaw, in comparison to most insectivore species of gecko, that need these stronger jaws to crunch down exo skeletons of insects.

Although these animals usually are not aggressive, sometimes a leopard gecko can become aggitated through handling, breeding, or activity. They will usually warn before biting by making a hissing sound, if you are bite by one though, it will not hurt. Avoid handling a hissing leopard gecko, allow it to calm first.
