Hi, I wante to know when I should start handling my leo and how I should go about it. I've had her for 1 month now and she is about five or 6 inches long maybe 2 or 3 months old. Thanks, Jordan

First off congrats on your new leo. When it gets a little bit older post pictures of its underside and we'll be happy to sex him for you. You could have been handling him after about a week after you aquired him or whenever he settled down. Handling them isnt very hard, just make sure they are supported all the time and dont let them jump off and/or fall off your hand, arm, or whatever they are on.
