Please note that the information requested during registration will be used to determine your legitimacy as a participant of this site. As such, any information you provide that is determined to be false, inaccurate, misleading, or highly suspicious will result in your registration being rejected. This is designed to try to discourage as much as possible those spammers and scammers that tend to plague sites of this nature, to the detriment of all the legitimate members trying to enjoy the features this site provides for them.
Of particular importance is the REQUIREMENT that you provide your REAL full name upon registering. Sorry, but this is not like other sites where anonymity is more the rule.
Also your TRUE location is important. If the location you enter in your profile field does not match the location of your registration IP address, then your registration will be rejected. As such, I strongly urge registrants to avoid using a VPN service to register, as they are often used by spammers and scammers, and as such will be blocked when discovered when auditing new registrations.
Sorry about all these hoops to jump through, but I am quite serious about blocking spammers and scammers at the gate on this site and am doing the very best that I can to that effect. Trust me, I would rather be doing more interesting things with my time, and wouldn't be making this effort if I didn't think it was worthwhile.
I'm very new to leo, i got mine about two month ago. I have never handled him yet. I feed him by hand giving him his mealies one by one with my hand. He sometimes picks them directly in my hand (when he miss, he pick my finger...lol). When i try to get my hand real close of him so he can climb in he get scared and goes into his hiding spot. Should i continue like that ? Or with a more aggressive approach ? meaning picking him right up ? He's a juvie...6 inch long.
I would suggest going for a little more aggressive approach and picking him up. At first just hold him for very short periods, maybe only a minute or two. Be careful he doesn't jump out of your hand. Leo's are not known for looking before they leap. And of course remember to never, ever try to restrain him by holding his tail, it will fall off. This is how we handle our babies and it works well. they do settle down after a while, it just takes some time.
