since i am a proud owner of many reptiles i can tell you that you should not hold a pet the first day you bring it home. you should not hold it for at least 24 hours. this will give it time to adjust to its new home. you can pet it just not get it out, this will also give it some time to get used to you.

YES!! i have two leopard geckos and they are very nice. leopard geckos don't bite people unless they are really really stressed or angry at you. they can crawl up your shirt, sleep on you, and they are very fun to play with! they sometimes don't like people holding them a lot... also IT'S FUN WATCHING THEM EAT!! so please keep them! they are precious animals. they are very calm and whoever takes care of them will think that you are their master. it takes about 3 weeks to let them know you. (P.S. when they want to know you, they will lick you!!) so keep them!

How do you make a leopard gecko leash?

A leopard gecko is not a domesticated species of animal, It cannot learn tricks and follow your command. These animals should not be leashed nor should they be dragged across the floor. Leopard geckos live in a climate that hits almost 100 degrees Fahrenheit. Your home is more than likely 60-80 F. Therefore your leopard gecko would not be able to sustain extended periods of time out of its terrarium.

Why does your leopard gecko try to escape her cage?

Yes. It can be handled. Put one hand in front of the gecko. Then, with the other hand, nudge it so that it goes onto your hand. Keep ypur hands still, and if it looks scared, cup one hand over it so it feels more secure. Never grab by its tail, as it will drop off. I would advise holding it with your hands inside its tank/cage, so if it tries to jump off your hands it will land in its cage and can't run away. At first the gecko will not like being held. Keep handling it and eventually it will get used to it and not jump down all the time.
