Are leos personal?

Hi, just want to know if leopard geckos get to know you a lot, I've heard people say that 'my leo knows me' e.t.c. but tbh that's kinda general, are leos at about the same 'personal level' as say, a rabbit or guinea pig?

thanks

I know they know you by smell and I think by sight too. I know when I get close to the tank my geckos get excited because they know I am probably going to feed them. I am not sure how deep the personal level they know you .... I would like to think my geckos know me pretty well. I am not sure what you could compare them too.

anyone else? I don't want to get a leo if it won't get to know me, and they live pretty long, it would be nice if you could help me out

Im not trying to be negative here, but if you want something that is going to know you well and respond to you get a dog or cat. Dont get me wrong, leopard geckos are very friendly but I think its a stretch to say they become close to a certain individual. I have leopard geckos because I think they are beautiful animals, not to have something that I can hold constantly. I hold mine every now and then, some dont seem to mind and some do not like to be held. Hope this helps!

yup it does, I think I may think about a leo after getting a guinea pig, thanks

That's the great thing about leos .... they are not totally traumatized if you don't pay attention to them everyday. They are very low maintenance and with my busy schedule it works. Not that I never pay attention to them.... just if I go a day without messin with them they are cool with that.

I am not sure how personal their affections are, but they seem to come out of their hide caves or at least peek out and watch my every move. They are curious little girls and don't mind me picking them up. Leopard Geckos always seem to have that judgemental expression on their little faces. I have lots of snakes,tortoises and a 2 ft monitor and the gecko's seem to rule the roost LOL! They watch over everything LOL!
