Gecko 'gressiveness?

[Shaun J]

My cresty has been awfully aggresive today.I fed him around 5.When I was going to close the lid after putting the dish in...WHAM!!When I was cleaning the enclosure a few minutes ago,he bit me again.It doesnt hurt,but I dont want him being too aggressive.What should i do?Is this because he's young?

if you have not had him/her long, they just may be settling in. maybe close to shed, maybe stressed from too much handling.
or maybe just doesn't want to be bothered. most of my are real tame. try feeding babyfood off your fingertip to him/her.

i had him a week and 2 days,shed already,i only handle him when i clean the cage.He eats off my finger.

My guess? He's decided his new home is his territory and he's letting you know that. Let him know that you are not a threat and that biting you doesn't work for chasing you off and it should stop soon.
