Handling your Gecko

Leopard geckos are super curious creatures and they get along well with people. It’s likely that he will watch the things you do a lot, especially when you are doing things in his tank. Be careful when you take your gecko out of the tank. For one thing they are fast. You will find that if you touch his back or tail (where he can’t see you) he will want to run. Also, like many other geckos these little guys will lose their tail!!!. This is a defense mechanism and the lizard will be fine, but the tail that grows in will not be nearly as pretty as the original. If this happens isolate him from any other geckos and swab his tail with Neosporin and keep an eye out for any infection.
