Best Answer

A gecko is a species of reptile. They do not have the ability to regulate their own heat, so they rely on energy from the sun to heat them. When holding a gecko, our body heat transfers from our arms and hands to the geckos belly and feet. After an extended period of time, the gecko may seem flighty and trying to run. This could be due to the fact that their body heat is now at a comfortable temperature and they do not wish to become warmer. It can sometimes take 10-20 minutes for their body temps to reach this high. It's best to hold your geckos for no longer than 10-20 minutes at a time.
