for 3 times in a row i've handled my crested gecko its pooped. the first one was a good fecal, the second time the crested fell and then gave a wet urate. the third time (during the day this time after eating 4-5 legless pinheads the night before) gave a good full fecal. it did seem very skittish before or after. i'm just wondering if i'm stressing it too much or if they poop when they're afraid like frogs and other animals. or if it's just an amazing coincidence that it poops when its around me

Edit: these are 3 separate days btw. w/ one day of rest in between

Your gecko might be scared but If you handle any crestie long enough it will poop, maybe they like the heat from our body. I wouldnt worry too much about it. How long have you had him/her?

Its natural for cresties to poop on your hands, some do it more than others. As long as the stools look fine, everything is shipshape! :)
