I just got a leopard gecko from the pet store a little over a week ago. I belive its been almost two weeks. It used to be nice and would let me hold it....after a little squirming of course. I don't hold it often but starting yesterday it started hissing and biting. I am not able to get near it without it being hostile. Even if i just put my hand in the tank it starts acting strang. Jumping up on all fours and running to go hide. We have another one as well and it is very calm. It crawls into my hand and likes to be held. Is this normal for the one to act a little aggressive or am I doing something wrong? What should I do to make the gecko a little more comfortable with me!
