How get gecko when she runs over me and clings to my back?

[Heckolove]

we can only hold Gekster when there’s more than one of us as she likes to crawl behind us and sit on our backs. It takes the other one to scoop her off but is there a tip to doing this myself so I can hold her alone? LOL

You can make a gecko treadmill with you hands so it can run from one hand to the other and then you put your empty hand in front of it. You can also set up a "play area" for your gecko so it can crawl around without getting on your back. Some safe play areas (you can also use a box or other large enclosure) that I've used include the bathroom with a closed door (as long as there are no heat vents that it could get into), carpeted stairs (with no other animals around) and behind the couch pillows (I pulled the pillows out a bit and kept an eye on the gecko).

Thanks for your reply and the tips. We do the treadmill thing already which she seems to enjoy but she can be so fast running up my arm sometimes that as soon as she’s past me elbow she’s already made it to shoulder then back. Will deffo try making a safe play pen for her

My gargoyle geckos do this from time to time. I either back up to something that they can jump onto, or take off my shirt.

Mine also used to to the same but once Gekster becomes more tame , she will probably stop climbing on your back
