Hey guys! I need some advice. My gecko no longer lets me take him out of his tank with no difficulty anymore.
Now I don't bother him all the time or anything. If he doesn't crawl onto me (he usually just sniffs my hand and then leaves) I just leave him alone but sometimes I have to take him out to clean his house!! Like today. But instead of letting me scoop him up he'll bite me and latch on and shake his head like he's trying to kill my poor hand.
He used to let me do whatever but I guess he's too independent for that now :/ I don't mind not being able to hold him anymore but I hate stressing him like this every time I have to take him out.
Any advice? He only started being this aggressive in late September (before that he only rarely bit and was very docile) so maybe it's a phase but I'm not looking forwards to getting bit a ton of times before that phase ends. Anything will help! Thanks!
