So this is my new gargoyle gecko I got him yesterday from a breeder at a reptile expo. I went there looking for another crestie but fell in love with him! I am stumped on a name for him. I desperately need help, I like to name my guys/girls within a few days of me getting them. All my other pets are named after Pokemon I would like to keep going with that but if I find something that really catches my interest I'm more than willing to do that instead.
I have currently 2 crested geckos and have tried to read everything there is about gargoyle gecko care. It seems that they have the exact same requirements as the crested geckos right?
I have read that gargoyles are jumpier and can bite and draw blood unlike cresties. But generally do people find gargoyles more aggressive than cresties? My guy seemed sweet when I held him before I purchased him.
Now since I got my gargoyle and placed him in his enclosure I have left him be and tried to let him settle in. But he has not moved a muscle since then and that was over 24 hours ago. Should I move him a little bit to a different spot just to show him that something is not going to happen to him if he does. Or is this typical behavior for gargoyles? I know it's not good to handle them after you just got them so that's why I have held off but I feel bad because he hasn't moved an inch. I'm not sure how to approach the situation. Any feedback is appreciated. Thanks!
