The Leopard Gecko

Can we share the personality of our Leopard Gecko? I am yet to have mine, the set up is ready though. I just thought I would hear from you guys!:headbang2

I have had many leopard geckos over the years but at the moment I have 2 old adults and their 2, month old babies. The parents of the babies were my first LG's and they are very calm and don't mind being held at all. In fact, when I'm cleaning or fixing up their tank, the female has a bad habit of getting in the way and climbing up my arm.
The babies on the other hand are still some what cautious of me. The one will allow brief handling while the other runs for it's life when it sees my hand. Just like any animal or person, they all have different personalities. If you want a baby LG to get used to you, then a few minutes of handling weekly will help out a lot.
 
cute pic I miss my leos my one girl would chill in my shirt pocket with her head out while I did my routine arround the house if I stopped and sat down she would clime out and chill on my shoulder or head...
 
I absolutely LOVE that pic! Mine is cautious of handling, and very sneaky. As soon as your attention is on something else she makes a run for it! She comes to the glass of the viv when I'm maintaining the reptile room though, and tends to get in the way too when cleaning. :D
 
Thanks a lot for all the replies, definitely great personality!:headbang2 Can you guys share pictures? That would be great too, I would love to see the pictures.:)

How big do leopard geckos get? I have been kind of wanting one or two for a while now, and the first pic, and the one of the gecko in the chair just makes me want some even more!

It seems theyre pretty personable lizards! Would two be ok in a 35gallon size vivarium? I'm going to start reading some care sheets right away!
 
two would be ok in a 35 long inclosure. they need long not high enclosure. male and female or two females. two males will fight. easy to take care off. i used to have awhole bunch, they where what i was into before fish. i had alot then i traded them in for fish supplies when i got the fish bug.
here are my last two
the female loves attention people being out. she is weird. she is the hypo. the male only comes out for food or water. thats it.
here they are

i used to have one that loved people. i used to take it out with mea places when it was warm. he would chill on my shoulder. just like any reptile/gecko the more u handle the friendlier they become.
 
I just read a bunch of care sheets, was expecting for them to be harder to care for! I want a Tempor(sp) Giant Leopard, they are so cool, but way to exspensive! I think I'm going to get two female Jungle phase Leopards, as theyre only $40 dollars, wich is a good price. I really want a cool morph, but some are just rediculously exspensive.

Forgot to add, the tank is 30 inches long, and 12 inches wide.
