My wifes new Girl

Picked her up at the Reptile show. Love the coloring and thought she'd make some nice babies with my carrot tail, she was only $30 but she's a mean S.O.B! I've never met a mean leo until now, this one actually hisses. Hopefully she'll chill out in a few days.

the high yellow I adopted last week is the same... she'll squawk at me when I try to handle her, and she's tried to bite me a few times...

yeah, she has attempted to bite me and my wife several times. The very first day i got her home I handled her without problem. But I guess since she's settled in she's showing her true nature....not nice at all! fortunately she hasn't shown any aggression to the other female I have in the tank with her. I've heard them make some little squeaks before, but not in a agressive way but this big girl does a lot more than squeak she makes a nasty hissing sound for several seconds until she's left alone.
