haha yeah, once you get the bug your hooked! but money does cause a problem for that...or a blessing maybe? either way this is my last gecko for quite a while.

[ice gecko]

well this is my lovely ivy absolutly love her to death already <3

[ice gecko]

when i weighed her at the show shes at 20.4 grams right now so shes still got LOTS of growing to do. i think im hooked on the nuu ana's now

[calikid]

how does she do with handling? how do you go about getting her out of her cage?

[ice gecko]

when i first take her out shes calm and a bit lazy but once my hand warms her up shes a bit skiddish. i havnt had her jump out of my hand yet but she can crawl pretty quick. as for taking her out of her cage i just slowly grab her from the sides so to make sure im not thrusting my hand twards her or squeezing her and lightly take her feet off whatever shes sticking to.

[ice gecko]

of course though shes young and as they grow older and are handled regularly they calm down more and are like puppy dogs

[calikid]

ohh okay. every time i take my leachie out his feet are super stuck to his branches and i don't want to hurt him.

[ice gecko]

yup just gently pry him off. as long as you arnt pulling and ripping him off it will be fine
