How can I make my crested gecko more comfortable with me?
This is Ekko and I got her on February 15th of this year and I gave her plenty of time to get used to her space. This is a photo of her about a week after I got her. She lets me pet her and touch her tail when needed and she used to eat off my finger a lot but lately she couldn’t care less about food when I’m holding it. She obviously still eats from her bowl when I’m not holding it. She lets me hold her when I have too but I can only hold her calmly for about twenty seconds before she’s had enough and wants down which I don’t entirely mind but she gets quite wiggly and I don’t have enough time to her back in the tank before she’s irritated. I’m not sure what to do because she’s not food driven at all. I understand that some geckos are simply not opt to being held often but I thought I started holding and touching her early enough that she might come around early on and as she grows she might care less about being held. I don’t want to stress her out but people also say consistency is key. Anybody know how to help?
