    Unhappy I honestly think she wants to bite me

    I absolutely love my leo Bailey, but I think the feeling is not mutual. This little leo is one of the coolest I've ever seen, she's a hypo snow eclipse. She is an agressive little thing though (I'm assuming it's she, but it could be a he). It's actually kind of funny to watch her.

    I refilled her mealworm dish, well I actually replaced it with a different dish, and the first thing she does is stalk the food dish like a cat, slowly creeping closer and then she bit the dish.

    She just did something similar with me. I was in the room and I decided to look in on her and I noticed that she was following my every move, so I gave her more attention. Well she slowly started stalking up to me like with the food dish until she tried to bite my face through her tub. Silly little gecko.

    I certainly don't want to stick my hand in her tub, but I need to do something about this before she gets bigger. It's cute now because she's only like 10-15g, but it won't be when she is an adult.

    You need to keep holding her even if she still wants to bite you. Adult leo bites can draw blood. Cant tell you how many untamed adults i have had bite me.
    with handling, baby leo's can be tamed easy.

    You need to handle it and most likely it will settle down. If it is still young handle it regularly but still not too often as that might stress it out.

    Like mentioned before gecko bites are nothing, babies and adults. Even adult bites, which may draw blood like mentioned don't hurt even if they do bite hard enough to draw blood. They are more surprising then harmful.
