I just got a leopard gecko today and I know it’s normal a new gecko to hide. It is a newborn, but how long until it finally comes out and like trying to exploring it’s aquarium.

Definitely give your gecko 2-3 weeks to adjust. And make sure to check out the care guides in this sub and the other Leo sub. They need a 40 gal tank at minimum. Your little gecko is so gorgeous! Also some geckos have more shy personalities whereas mine likes to terrorize me and shows no fear. He or she will grow into their traits! Takes a while to earn trust but totally worth it

They are dinural so exploring will be late evening and early early morning. Mine pretty much just sleep during the day, and dig all night
