I've had my 2 baby leos for a month now and just held them the first real time today! They run like crazy and wiggle like crazy when I have tried to pick them up. I picked one up today and took him out of his tank for the first time. And he was actually fine, I fell in love! I carried him around for about half an hour and he crawled up me and everything.. =) But when I went to get the other one.. he was fine until I walked into another room and he jumped on my arm. Fell down my leg. And I'd grab him then he'd jump again. It was like this back and forth dance so I just cupped him up and put him back. He totally freaked. And he kinda scares me in a way. I'm so scared I'll lose one, my rooms huge and tons of closets and stuff. I just feel like I'll never get him tamed. Is there any advice? I think so far he's male, he's attacked my other one before, so he kinda has an attitude. When I first picked him up today he grabbed my hand digging at it and sratching like a dog. And he has bite me before, kinda why it took so long to hold em. But will he ever tame? What do I do?
