    With my beardie, I made a clicky noise when I put my hand in the tank. Just a little soft noise. I also made the noise when I fed him. Over time I noticed that he would come out of his "frozen prey" stance when I made the noise. He knows it means it is ok. Also reading out loud next to the tank, not looking at him seemed to help.

    Mine never acts terrified no running or barking, but he will not let me pick him up. I went out of town for two weeks and had a pet sitter there (so he was fed and not alone) and when I came back he heard my voice and ran to the glass and so I just decided to try to stick my hand in and give me treats and pet him since he seemed excited and to my absolute shock he ran up on my hand! It happened two nights in a row then never again lol. At least I know he loves me now lol

    I got a new leo a few months ago, and he still doesn't like me much. He doesn't run away, but has intentionally bit me a few times 😔
    I finally got to hold him last night, and he was calm for a bit. But then he tried to run off, and got super stressed and freaked out when I wouldn't let him. Poor guy even lifted his tail at me 😢

    Mine like me just fine, I put my hand in the tank in front of their faces they test by licking, I don't touch them then they usually(!) climb on my hand. This works for most any animal even the human breed. Happy you see you back and looking so much better

    Great tips, Elle! I can't recall the idea of just having your hand in the tank being one that I hear about very often, and it's such a good one! Familiarity decreases fear ❤ I can't remember if you have any Cresties at home or much experience with them? But if there is any content you can think of that would be good for Crested Gecko owners as well, I would be down for that too. Take care of yourself, fellow reptilian 🥰

    Hi!! So i just got my leopard gecko a week ago from a Reptile Expo. He isn't a baby but they couldn't tell me exactly how old he is or very much about him at all. He has only eaten 2 crickets since then. He won't eat anything else. I've tried meal worms as well as wax worms, just to see what I could get him to eat. I'm lost. Lol
