hi!

Heres my little story!

I was cleaning the paper towels in my little male's tank when he came running out. So I took out my hand because i tought he was going to bite me. When he went back in his hide I layed my hand in the bottom of the tank and left it there. He came out slowly, sniffed all my fingers and then he walked on my hand twice!!! I was stuned when he did that because before today when I came close to his tank he would run in his hide.
So from now on I will repeat this until he lets me take him out!

thats it! :D

Congrats!

I'm still working with my little girl, she sometimes walks on my hand but not often and not to let me pick her up. But then, when I do pick her up, she is calm?!! She doesn't like to be handled much but seems to like my boyfriend much more!!! Makes me jealous!!! Oh well, she's a daddy's girl!

Thats great! I find once you get them out of the tank they calm down much more. So if he goes on your hand I would just slowely lift him up and out, as long as he isn't one of those geckos that like to jump off. Good luck and if he makes a chirping noise while in your hand it usually means he is uncomfortable, so make your hand flat and level as possible.
