New Leopard Gecko cries when I put her back in her terrarium?

I got a new gecko, and she is a sweetie. She loves being handled, but hates when she has to go back in her terrarium. Her terrarium is very nice and large. It is the right temperature, and she is eating well. Why is she crying, and is it something I should be worried about?

    I don't see it as anything you should be worried about. Like any other pet, she needs to get used to her environment. Handling her is fine but don't let her get too used to it because she needs to understand that the vivarium is her home. It would be like getting a dog and letting it sleep in your bed all the time when it should be sleeping in its own. Everyone has their place and your leopard gecko has her vivarium.

    Hope I could help.
