Leopard geckos may bite if they feel threatened or scared. It could also be a sign of hunger or stress. It's important to handle them gently and make sure their living environment is comfortable to reduce biting behavior.
This depends on the individual gecko but most leopard geckos stop biting and hissing about two or three weeks after hatching.
Leopard geckos may bite out of fear, stress, or hunger. To prevent biting, handle your gecko gently, avoid sudden movements, and make sure they are well-fed and have a comfortable environment. If biting persists, consult a reptile veterinarian for further advice.
There are two ways of defence that I know of, one is that they have the ability to drop their tail so that the tail distracts the predator, so hopefully the leopard gecko can scurry away. The second is biting.

no absolutely not! If your leopard gecko needs a companion try another leopard gecko (you can not pair male leopard geckos with other male leopard gecko)

No, a leopard gecko has never bitten me.
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.
Vietnamese Leopard Gecko was created in 1999.
