Help with biting problem

Proud2bAmerican Jun 09, 2004 01:23 PM

Hey, my gecko is 2 months old, and still biting me every time i put my hand close to him (or her.) It doesnt try to run away or anything, it just straight up bites me. I don't know what to do, as this apparently isn't a big problem to most gecko owners. So if anyone has ANY idvice on how to warm my gecko up to me.. id LOVE to hear it
Thanks so much !
Matt

When you put your hand in put it in palm down mine seem to like my hand better that way and also try puting a mealworm on your hand that might work
