Hello, I am currently having a problem with my Nephurus Levis Levis.
(firstly backstory)
When bought from the pet store a few months ago I was advised to refrain from extensive handling as to avoid stressing the gecko, in which I did so. However, the gecko has become aggressive towards me. One attempt of picking him up resulted in him biting me. Later on he was stuck and so I lightly nudged him as to assist in freeing him, as I touched him, he let out a hissing sound at me.
I know that the cause of the aggression was me not handling him commonly and while the bites are harmless I would like to know ways as to get the gecko used to me handling him a bit more as to make tank maintenance easier.
Any advice is greatly appreciated
