leo is one of those reps that can really be tamed in my opinion. I acquired leos both from stores (back when i first got them) and rescues. a lot of them r really scared and suspicious at first, but they r small (i think they know lol) and they got the instincts to get away from u so its understandable , so id say please have patient with them. Another thing is don't get discouraged, and just because your gecko might be mean and bitty don't give up on them yet lol. (you can always wear a glove if your scared of bite). Lastly, when you r trying to handle them, just do it slow, you can use one hand to distract them then use the other hand to scope them up from below. Id say once they r on your hands they behave a lot better and don't let them walk all over your shirt or whatever because you might not be able to reach them let say they r on your back. So the best way is just to let them walk on you arms or hands but just place one after another so you can control them really well. And if their tail start wagling just leave them be for a quick min or 2 so once they have calm down you can continue. So just repeat the process for some time and they will most definitively get used to you. I also agree when handling geckos try not to be too quiet cuz that freak them out even more. So play some low volume song next to you or that sort.

[@leopardgeckotalk]

Yeah patience is key! :)

[@MRBthecharger]

First gecko we got was super chill/trusting immediately. Planning on getting a second one soon. Like most creatures, I imagine they all have their own unique personalities so I'm curious what we'll end up with next. Haha.

[@faelencrepe]

I love how when you open the glass he just slowly looks at you

[@icycocosnake]

leaving my hand in the tank seems to actually work ok for getting my gecko out, but it takes forever lol I'm on month 3 of having my gecko, but I think I'm going to try scooping him out and seeing what he does

[@RedShepherds]

Saroni Macaroni for my gecko i put either 1 or 2 fingers under his belly and he’ll just climb up but im not sire if thats just because he is used to me

[@twigstheshifter3643]

Same here! My little one, Scoop, was very wary of people from getting picked up improperly and rough handling before I got them and I think showing them that I would respect their space and not pick them up when they didn’t want to be immensely helped build up their trust in me. I’ve only had them a few months but they feel comfortable enough to completely lay down on my hand when I’m handling them now. They’re such a sweet little lizard and I love them so much

[@icycocosnake]

@@twigstheshifter3643 My gecko also does that so I feel like I should be able to give it a try

[@coolguy082]

[@tokki963]

I got my gecko about 2 months ago and I was getting worried that he was never going to get better because he would run so fast anytime I got any where near him. Now he’s so much better First thing I started off with was putting my hand in the tank for it at least 10 minutes a day As he got more comfortable he would walk on my hand and then walk off Then he soon started to climb on my hand every time I put my hand in the tank Soon after he let me pick him up Once he was comfortable with me picking him warm up in my sleeves He still gets spooked by sudden sounds or sudden movements but he trust me. I was able to get him like this within a 1 to 3 week period Some geckos scream some geckos hiss some bite it all depends on your gecko and you have to take time because it’s not something you can rush into. I recommend leaving your hand in the tank for a couple minutes a day, and padding their head or chin, but the best thing I recommend is just picking them up and letting them sit in your hand so they realize that they’re not gonna get hurt if they’re around you

[@leopardgeckotalk]

ah that's good to hear :) yeah there are different ways of doing it, like you went down the putting your hand in the tank route, which can totally work :)

[@tokki963]

Leopard Gecko yea, also I’ve been meaning to ask you about eco-earth. All the pet stores recommended sand and Calcium-sand, but I know that sand causes impaction but at the same time I want a loose substrate. I know in the UK you guys have earth mix arid but in the US it’s hard to find a safe loose substrate. I’ve been keeping my Leo on paper towel. Today I put in eco-earth. Do you think it will be OK to transition to eco-earth or should I stick with paper towels? I want to be safe but at the same time I want it to look nice. And also I feel like loose substrate is such a good enrichment item I noticed my Leo likes to dig in his humid hide a lot.

[@CKzoidYT]

@@tokki963 eco earth is fine i use it and @leopardgecko used to use it before she went bioactive so its safe 100•/•

[@therebelofchaos1674]

@@CKzoidYT It's safe as long as you can maintain humidity. It holds moisture like crazy though so you have to be careful, that's the only thing with it really, other than it also gets very dry and dusty as well when you don't have any moisture in it.

[@SolarEclipse-po7iu]

I have a leopard gecko named Sam, and with him I have a small technique that I like to call the "Trust Boop." It's a way to see if you've had the gecko out for too long. Basically, you gently tap the gecko on the nose. You do it slowly and calmly, and make sure it's a soft boop and not anything that can hurt them. If you boop it and it doesn't move away or get spooked, it means your gecko trusts you and isn't afraid of the environment it's in. If it flinches and moves away, you may want to put the gecko back in the tank as it is beginning to get skittish and freaked out. It is recommended that you boop the gecko before even taking it out so that you know if it's alright with being handled at that moment. It's a really simple technique that I've been using on Sam ever since I got him. He's still under a year old, but he responds to it well and it helps me know when he's calm enough to be picked up or when he needs some time to himself. I hope this was helpful :>

[@bean8703]

wow never heard of this before, I'll definitely be using it! I imagine getting all up in their face might stress them out, but if I do it carefully it should be fine? It would at least avoid extra stress if he's not up for it. Anyways, thanks a lot for the tip!

[@jenniferlang4839]

This came at the perfect time! I've had me new girl for almost 3 weeks. This past week and a half I've simply had my hand in the tank to get he acquainted with my presence and this evening i held her for the first time since coming home! All went so smoothly and surprisingly, she didn't rush off my hand when i allowed her to step back onto the floor of her tank. She actually hung out a little longer before stepping off. This video was the perfect reassurance to move on to the next step, and feel confident with how I was going about things. Thank you for your fabulous and informative videos. You were so much help during the months researching and preparing to get my first gecko! Best gecko channel out there!

[@leopardgeckotalk]

ah that's brilliant to hear! :) Glad things are going well :D

[@helianthe3457]

Omg! My gecko was kinda reluctant to interact (he wasn't like super stressed out because he didn't wag menacingly his tail or anything, but he was annoyed) and today I tried to lift his humid hide and scoop him. It worked! He didn't run away, stayed calm, walked in my hands. He seemed less avoidant afterwards and I could finally feed him! It was the first time after a week since his arrival (he wouldn't eat by himself)! Thank you so much!

I had my gecko for about a year and make him watch Chopped with me on the reg. He does not appreciate it.

[@newdawn1968]

I totally understand how ya feel but that's the way allot of reptiles and amphibians are , they are not going to even come close to being like our furry friends and of course that's what makes them different 😊. I think they honestly have a very small memory ( short term) after all we know that it's not very big ☹️ but we can just love and accept them for the way they are and try not to get discouraged or heart broke if they don't show to much affection. They are just so cute and we want to handle them often , I have 5 and a bearded dragon and the beardie is a better one when it comes to them showing that they like you lol but just remember all your animals like you ( if you're nice to them ) they just have different ways of showing it . 😋 Have a good day ☺️

[@lordoftoasters5897]

I'm glad I'm not alone in this. My gecko Loki seems to tolerate me some days but other times he seems terrified!

Kimberly Lynn that was really cute thank you for sharing that 🥺 it’s definitely harder to adjust to how geckos act when you’ve owned a dog before haha

[@jorted_julimak]

Got my gecko at Petco and he was a very angry boy from day one. We were able to eventually tame him and we got to hold him and stuff. Then we got a cat and dog, so we couldn't bond with him as much since the furry pets begged for attention much more. He eventually was no longer tame. He began to bite again so I was worried that we wouldn't be able to bond again, and I saw this. I am happy and am going to try and re-tame him. Edit: this is 2 days later and he let me hold him :D

Thank you so much for this! My leopard gecko is a rescue, and I had to put him through veterinary treatment when I first got him. So he came to associate me picking him up with medicated baths and oral antibiotics. However, I've been using the tips from your earlier videos, and we're finally getting to a point where he's poking his head out when he hears my voice. (Of course, I've been bribing him with food, too, and he is definitely food motivated! ^_^)

Baby geckos tend to be a bit more scared/skittish by nature, so I'd give it more time. Also, what type of light do you use?? UV percentages are important from species to species

[@nachomarcano926]

@@RootBeerBilly i use a 5.0 uvb light and i have mesh so he isnt getting too overloaded with uvb.

I just got my first leopard gecko in years. I had one for 14 years, and when she passed I was deviated (RIP armentia) So I finally, 3 years later, have finished grieving and got a new baby, named Tiki! This video is very helpful for me, sense it’s been so long. Thank you!

Great video. Thanks. I'm babysitting a gecko and he is beautiful. This video helped me to handle him better. Thank you.

i’m literally a couple days away from getting my first leopard gecko (squishy dino)!! i’m so excited, i’ve always dreamed of getting one, then i found out that it’s really easy to take care of them which is awesome for me because it’ll make the time that i’m at home a less stressful and give me a reason to work and make sure my space/s are clean. he’s around 7 years old already i believe, and i cannot wait to meet lil gaza (gary)!! i’ve already given him a nickname lol, but i’m hoping that clicking method will work with introducing myself to him, and just generally getting him used to me. this video was super helpful thank you so much! btw, i love gizmo haha! she’s so cuteeeee 🥰🥰

[@marlenecortez9440]

Thank you for the video I got to hold him!! He sat on my shoulder and didn’t skitter away!!
