    Stressed or Inquisitive?

    My gecko is a 5 year old female and I am trying to decide if she was stressed or just really curious during handling tonight.

    Behavior after shedding?

    My baby leo just shed her skin off for the first time I had her. She got it all off and I made sure there's nothing left on her toes.
