lol its no surprise to me they are afraid of you. You handled them right after getting them. You gave them no time to settle in. They are probably stressed. You sir are a big face palm.
Im thinking of getting one of these guys. I have an empty terrarium now i just cant think of anything to put in it....
Just let your lizard alone, he is extremelly stressed and that is the way he has to show it. I have a normal leo that was very jumpy when I first got him home and he hissed and screamed frequently. No wonder. In the situation I got him from he was neglected and a big chunk of skin was stuck in its front feet, cutted the circulation and cost him (tankfully only!) part of several fingers. Now he is the tamest and sweetest of my leos. Your just needs time.
If the tip of the leos tail is shaking it's usually an aggressive sign displayed when a male leo meets another male leo. If they are showing aggression towards each other you may have two males. But since they are still too young to sex we can't know for sure.
