My friend has had a leopard gecko for about a month now and can hold it and walk around the house with it on her shoulder with relative ease. I got an albino at Petco yesterday and am wondering if there is a "best way" to go about socializing it? It sleeps during the day and I feel as though I should try not to disturb him then, but then at night I'm getting ready to go to bed as he's getting ready to start the day. He's quite skittish and doesn't like me to hold him. How can I get my gecko to be as mellow as my friend's gecko? Also, he seems to be oblivious to his mealworms. I've seen him eat one, but today he fell asleep watching a mealworm bury itself in the sand right in front of him. My house is loud and full of cats and my very in-your-face 10 year old brother. His tank is on our living room floor. Will it be harder to socialize him in such a choatic environment? Any tips on "gecko rearing" would be greatly appreciated. Thank you.
