Dont handle him............ especially as a baby or he wont eat.

 

[NickGeee]

Holding him for a half hour plus would make very scared and maybe defensive

Congrats on ur new gecko though... Did you end up doing up that wooden box?

 

[BDkeeper]

1st pic: this is the tank i made from the "wooden box" and some decorations i got from the expo on sunday.
2nd: is my gecko exploring his tank at night but just turned the light on to take a photo and as soon as i did he looked directly at me and watched me the whole time aha.
3rd: this is my gecko and me handeling him about 2 hours ago but i wont be handeling him for a while now.
hope you enjoyed the pics and would love to see pics of your geckos and setups and just to let you know im probly goin to get a mate for him soon once i have enough money to since i have no money at the moment ahaha :/

 

[BDkeeper]

anyone?

 

[Chicken]

anyone?

You got your question answered?
We told you not to handle so you post a photo of it on your hand, do you expect more good feedback?

 

[mummabear]

Feed bigger crickets. Pin heads will be very hard for him to catch as they are so small.

 

[BDkeeper]

No I was handling him like two hours before putting this post up and ok will buy bigger crickets

 

[herpmado]

No handling. Crickets about the width of its head as many as it will eat. You can't overfeed young reptiles all they do is grow!
