Wow, your leo truly seems mad at something. I don’t think anything is wrong with your leo, you may just have a grumpy gecko. Still, check to make sure your gecko is healthy and just keep trying to interact with him. Give him time to settle into his new enviroment. About the dust, I usually use Leopard Gecko Dust which is made by Sandfire Super Foods. It’s worked very well for me. Hope this helps

omg. the same thing happened to me. every day i put my hand in his cage for about 5 min. and after about a month and a half i almost gave up but my friend told me to start feeding the mealies to him by hand. i tryed and the first time he didn’t eat but i left the mealies on my hand in there for like 5 min., then i took it out if he didn’t eat and i would try the next day. by the third time i did that and he didn’t get food for three days he finally ate out of my hand and ran and came and got another one and ran. and now when i stick my hand in there he is not afraid and he doesnt hiss anymore. Yay. lol and now i can hold him but it took about two months of me having him and working with him every single day. just work at it. dont give up. try differant things. he’ll come around. keep trying. the same thing happened to me.

It’s a typical hatchling behavior. They’ll scream and jump at things, sometimes even take off running. That’s their form of defense against predators: Shock and awe, then run away!
Your albino is likely just a calm hatchling, though I have noticed normals and hypos scream more than albinos. Blizzard hatchlings really get into their screaming. Just don’t irritate the little guy too much. It does stress them out, and he could decide to drop his tail or not eat.

lol, thx for all the suggestions, i have heard that albino giants, are naturally calm, but he is 1/4 giant, is that even possible? his dads mom was a giant, dad is sorta big and is 1/2(if possible) an mom is a normal albino.
