how often do you guys see your leopard geckos, cos mine never comes out before 4 am ,its like having a invisable pet i feed it and clean its poo but never see it is this normal, i know they nocturnal but is there any way i can encourage it to become active before say mid nite?

I have 13 leos altogether and i guess i see about half of those on a regular basis,the rest are just lazy and i'll only get to see them when i poke them out their hides for check overs,just to make sure they're all ok being as i don't see them much,sounds to me like you have a lazy one,lol,but there's nothing wrong with you going in and getting it out now and then,it might like the idea then that when it sees you it knows its gonna get some attention and start coming out more,i have one that craves attention and won't stop scratching the glass until she's had a cuddle.
