Leopard gecko breeding questions

So far the little guy is doing great! He mostly sleeps in his hide but at night he comes out to explore when he thinks I'm not looking. He's already trying to get out of his container. He also hasn't screamed since yesterday, and I think he's warming up to me.

It sounds like he's doing good! Mine tried to get out of the container too, they still do to this day when they see food, lol. They get more and more used to you after time, especially when you're in and out of the container just doing maintenance (like filling the water/food dish). Mine still sometimes scream at me when I accidentally hit them with a water drop while misting, it's kind of cute when they do that, lol.

They scream? I've only known one leopard gecko, & she never screamed? (I'm pretty sure I'm scary enough too.) Mine wasn't a juvenile though- I just read that the little ones are more likely to scream. How cute! I found some audio as well as video:

They only scream very rarely. None of my geckos have screamed except for the 3 babies I hatched (and they've only screamed a few times). Those babies have only screamed when they recently hatched and I scared them or when I'm misting and accidentally hit them.

Considering how tiny they are compared to us, I sure can't blame them. Poor little things! They're so cute.

Yeah, this is the first time I heard a gecko scream in person, and it was only when I touched him the first day, and when I picked up the incubation box. My adults have only squeaked at me when I hit them with a spray bottle when they were still about 5 inches long.

I'm not sure if this is something they usually do, but this one will jump at my hand while screaming. For such small vulnerable animals, they sure have a lot of spirit!

I noticed that (spirit!) in the video that I linked to- screaming & even trying to bite her hand! Too funny- but that's the only way to survive if you're that tiny.

Still not much except sleeping... he didn't come out of his hide last night that I saw, but I'm not too worried. Can't wait till he sheds tomorrow and eats!
