Keep trying to hold it. It will soon get used to you, and will grow more comfortable in being held. Hold it with your hands inside it's tank/cage, so if it jumps down it can't run away. Don't grab it, but gently give it a nudge onto your hand.

Can a leopard gecko live with a crocodile gecko?
No, a leopard gecko can live with other leopard geckos, if both are female. During the breeding season, males can be housed with females but not any other reptile, unless you want a dead gecko.
When can you pick up a leopard gecko?
You can handle a leopard gecko whenever you want to but the best time to handle them is in the evening because they are nocturnal.
Does a common leopard gecko bite?
I does if you want it to! =D
How do you hold a baby leopard gecko?
Never by the tail. Scoup them up gently and let them rest in your hands. If it's trying to get away then it doesn't want to be held.
Is bob a good name for your new leopard gecko?
If that is what you want it to be. A great name.
Does a male leopard gecko and a female leopard do well together?
yes if you want eggs and baby lizards to take care of, which is extremely difficult.
Do leopard gecko shed?
yes, they do. Luckily, unlike a snake, they don't leave their shed behind for you to clean up. They eat it! A gecko that is shedding is very cool looking and something that a first-time gecko owner does not want to miss.
What is the average cost for a leopard lizard?
A baby leopard Gecko at a pet store is usually around 20-40 dollar's. I have saw most at 25-35 dollars though. If you want a adult gecko you will be looking around the range of anywhere from 45-60 and higher!
Do leopard geckos HAVE to eat live food?
No. People feed leopard geckos "pinkies" for various reasons. To boost nutrition during a geckos pregnancy. To give a gecko a large feeding so as to not have to feed it for a week (this works well if you want to take a vacation). Some people just think it's entertaining. A Leopard Gecko does not "need" to eat baby mice. Crickets will do.
What does it mean when your leopard gecko shakes like he is having a spasm?
It could be M.B.D (Metabolic bone disease) It happens when the gecko's diet does not get enough calcium. You may want to check the link below for more help.
What does it mean when leopard gecko digs in the cage?
Well, you're probably in for a surprise. In other words, your leopard gecko is pregnant! If you've never had any other leopard geckos in the aquarium (or wherever you keep it) then the egg will never hatch, it's just a cycle some leopard geckos go through, and is not uncommon. No need to worry, just remove the egg; but if you have had another leopard gecko in the cage before, it was probably a male, even if you thought otherwise, as this can be tricky. If this is so, you should put a small container of fresh aspen shavings or the moss you can get, but not the sand (this can be hazardous for baby leopard geckos). Hopefully, your gecko will lay her egg in the container, and you should remove that and place them in an incubator (directions at http://www.albeysreptiles.com/incubate-eggs.htm). Continue to follow the directions at that website, and you will find what you need. If the eggs are not in the container, carefullyremove the eggs by taking all that is under it and gently placing it in the container. Try to incubate them, following the directions given earlier, but it will normally be too late by then. Hope your hatchlings-to-be will do well!
How much is a gecko from pet-co?
I don't know what gecko you would like, but I got my baby leopard gecko for $25. older ones are normally much more. You might want to check on ether the petco or petsmart's webpages. petsmart and petco are almost the same thing. If you want to be 100% shure I think you should go to an actual store first.
