Rescuers/Taming

clickman Oct 19, 2003 06:42 PM

Can any rescuers, mainly those who have rescued some unfriendly geckos, e-mail me? I'm having some problems with two geckos who were rescued from an abusive pet shop situation from what I was told when I adopted them. It's a pair of two females. They get along GREAT together --- they sleep together, bask together, no one hogs food. But they just don't seem to like humans very much, from what I'm guessing is because of their pet store experience. Trying to think of ways to tame them when causing the less stress to them.

Hi i had one similar what i did was alot of handfeeding exercises for instance mine wasnt feed the way it should of been and thats why it was rescued so the sight of food was great to it it will come right up and take a mealy or cricket right out my hand. after doing that for a week i took it out and fed it and after about a month of that it was so sweet it would just let me pick him up and i would give him a treat

great gecko- his name is romeo is girl is juliet haha
