I was wondering when during the day you guys handle your geckos. The way my guy's cage is set up, he gets light from the room he is in during the day. During this time he is generally asleep in one of his hides. If i try to get him out of the cage, I have to remove the hide he is in and that really seems to make him mad. He makes a lot of noise and bites at me which I have to admit I find a little funny since the skin on my hands is too rough for him to get through. At night time, the room his cage is in is dark. The only light in the room is from two tanks below him that have red lights. this makes just enough light that I can see him if he is near the front of his cage. If I approach the cage and he is near the front, he runs into one of his hides. At that point I don't want to remove the hide to try to pull him out. Most of the pictures I see of people's geckos on here seem to be during the day. I'd like to handle him more to get him used to it, but I don't want it to be stressful for him.
