Around 1,5 month ago we adopted a 2yo gecko after mbd. He's fine and healthy now, but he's suuuper jumpy and afraid of me. Once on hands he's manageable, but to pick him up I need to chase him around his whole viv. Any ideas as to how I can tame him a little? He's super afraid of me and I would really like to be able to pick him up without soo much stress for him. I know that they are not beardies, but still... I tried to spoon feed him some treats like honey but he's too afraid to even try it. Or maybe I should just touch him once in a while to let him know nothing bad happens (if I touch him he's starting to bounce around his viv like crazy)? Every suggestions or your stories about bonding with crestie would be greatly appreciated!
