New Patternless Leo gecko biteing?

[roach dude]

On friday night i just got a new patternless leo. I picked him up when i got him, and then he bit me, i put it down to him being stressed from all the traveling. So put him back into his tank and left him be for a few days. Today i tryed to pick him up again, and he took another good nip!!!

Its not that painfull but im just wondering if hes unhappy! Or do i just taste unresistble!

Cheers conor

he may just not be used to being handled, since you said the previous owner ha lost interest in him.

or you just may smell/be tasty. ;P

Maybe try to wear some gloves and do some taming. You should see my water monitor when I first got him

Btw, advice...when taking a shower with a water monitor, never squat down to try to pick up soap....some "THING" might resemble a mouse...

Just give it some time...it'll tame up to you HOPEFULLY. Just don't make it a requirement.

We have a patternless that came in with our assortment of Leos at the store I work at. He's a nippy little thing too
