Hey thats great that hes eaten, but you shouldnt be handleing him at all.....you should give him at least a week to settle in before handleing him. Moving to a new place is very stressful, what would you do if you were thrown in a box shipped somewhere that you dont know and then played wiht by a bunch of giants that you dont know what their going to do to you......just give the gecko some time to settle in or else he could make himself sick with to much stress.....

I dont know if I'm the only one getting a little annoyed here, but you've done the exact opposite of what everyone has told you. Dont put him on the bark, you put him on the bark, dont handle him for a little it'll stress him out, so you handle him daily.....Seriously, whats the point of having a forum to ask questions when you dont listen? What we are telling you is for the good of your pet, please take the advice we give you. Later

i guess i can understand how he could not have the will power to not handle it for a while, it was, and still sorta is, hard for me to just leave them alone. but the substrate deal, there are many subtrates cheaper, and equally natural looking that work 10x better.
