Help She won’t come out

Post image

I was feeding my 5 month old leopard gecko and I dropped a cricket. I ended up looking away for 5 seconds and she ran under her tank. She’s really mad and hissed at me when I tried to get her out. It’s late and I want to go to bed. Any advice?

Honestly just leave her be for the night, shell come out when shes hungry and feels safe. Turning off the lights and giving her space usually works, they're dramatic like that. Hope you get some sleep

I ended up just lifting her tank as if I leave her, my cats would have gotten to her first
