Milky Way Galaxy,
So am starting to love my leopards more an more everyday ! Just wondering when you guys clean there tanks do you spot clean? I have reptile carpet. Should I just take out everything and pick up the poop off the carpet and put everything back in? How do you guys do it? And I got them used to my hand in the tank they come up and sniff it an lick my hand but they still won't let me pick them up. You know how much longer it should be? Thanks guys !!
 
One more thing, sometimes they go under the carpet. I dont have a problem with it anymore put if they found there way in they can get back out right? To find food. Only like 2 out of the 6 do it tho. Honestly I have nothing hevy in tank so they should be able to get out.
 
When i used the carpet back in the day , i usually went the lazy route and bought 2 of them , so when i cleaned the cage i swapped the dirty for the clean and washed the used one to be ready for next time.as for handling thats how they were as well here , calm to be approached but uneasy to handle at times , give it time it will happen . just better not to handle them with a closed fist but a open palm .
