Hey,
So Gromit is lovely and is about 7months old now. He has grown huge since we got him and everything it fine!
Now when handling him he did not love the scoop pick up technique when younger, he would squeak! So we got used to him coming to the front of the viv and me popping my hand up, he comes over most nights and will clamber straight on. However he is a little boisterous and when on my hand will just climb or run! Normally up my arm to my neck or suddenly freak himself and I quickly make sure my hands lead to his viv!!
There was one incident in where he decided to jump off my hand a few months back and it knocked my confidence but didn't seem to affect him!
My question is, when do geckos mature? Is this normal for his age or is that just his attitude? He is so inquisitive and loves to climb, but I could do without the panic when he legs it!!!!
Any comments appreciated! And here is a pic, just because!
