Should I get an adult or baby gecko?
I have had adult leopard geckos before (male and female) and I was very happy with them, I am looking to get another one and do not know If I should get an adult or baby? Is there any difference in temperment, what do you reccpmend?
Thanks.
I usually recommend people get older juveniles or adults, as the babies are more fragile and sensitive to habitat requirements. However, if you have successfully kept leos before, I see no problem with getting a baby. They are awfully cute...
Baby ones are usually pretty jumpy, sometimes aggressive, but with a little bit of careful handling, they calm down fairly quickly. One nice thing about getting them young is that you can ensure they are "tame" enough to tolerate handling. If you get an aggressive adult they are often set in their ways. I've got a rescued adult that is fairly aggressive... I'm working with him and he's a little better, but he still doesn't appreciate my hand in his cage.
One bit of advice with babies- Start out just holding them in their cage. They can be jumpy little suckers, and if they jump out of your hand or you try to grab them, they can be injured fairly easily
