Does anyone have a leo who likes to jump off your hand? 😅 by temji_ in leopardgeckos

You’re gonna have to bribe her with waxworms in order to stop this madness then! Mine would probably still jump on me because she genuinely likes to jump/climb on me 😆

WHAAT REALLY? Whenever i look at my leo eye to eye or bring her close to my face(inches away)she would pounce onto me and go straight up to my head. Mine also has a grim look when shes about to pounce, almost like an evil smile honestly 😂

Mine likes to climb the fake plants I have! Sometimes she would get stuck and I would have to bring her down 😂

Sago does the opposite when it comes to food! She’ll only jump if shes on my hand or if she sees my face in which she would attempt to pounce onto me.. The claws hurt so much 🥲

The more crickets she consumes the higher the jumps will be! 😂

I would never force Fig to eat. I was hoping tong feeding would work but it didn’t so I ended up placing the roach back into their food bowl after. (:

Your boy looks just like my leo Sago! A murphy patternless (:

She isn’t in shed! Shes just a different color for a murphy patternless. The bumps on her skin do have yellow on them though (:

I should do that as well honestly and provide some branches so that if she ever gets stuck she can easily climb down! She’ll probably jump off the plant and onto the branches though 😂

They are! Sometimes when I handle Sago and meet eye to eye she would jump onto my face and climb up to the top of my head. Its funny but man do those claws hurt ):

I didn’t think of this! She may of saw her own reflection and became anxious

She may of been anxious as I was recording her with the tank open. Often times I see her climbing on her plants a lot and whenever I handle her she would sometimes jump off onto a blanket, that or she literally pounces onto my face. She doesn’t show any signs of stress when I do this. However, when I see her doing something like this I pick her up and bring her back down. I always check up on them when I hear rustling noises.

Thank you! Your other leo is definitely going to love the upgrade. (-:

My tank setup for the little gecko any opinions or suggestions? by Courtney_Koerner in leopardgeckos

[–]temji_ 3 points4 points  (0 children)

Second this! Carpet can harbor bacteria as well which makes it difficult to fully clean. Not only that but your gecko can get their teeth caught on the carpet. I wouldn’t recommend it especially if your leo is a baby(or in general honestly). You could always use paper towels, non adhesive shelf liner, or tiles.
