Ummmmmmmm well. tonight when i finished feeding my geckos i noticed unshed skin on my female blizzards back toe so i started to moisten up the papertowls that line that side of her tank as well as mist her humid hide. She went NUTS screaming and trying to bite. She had just taken some mealies from me so i thought she was over the yelling at me, but Nope. She went to the back of the tank, climbed up on top of her rock and stood as high as she could......i guess to try to scare me off. Once i replaced the humid hide and closed the top, she went inside of it and has quieted down.

None of my other geckos do this..... I think some geckos are more freaked out than others. But my gal always calms down so i'm not to worried.

Now, I don't HAVE a blizzard, but I have noticed through other posts that there seems to be a personality trend with Blizards. Many people have posted that their blizzards seem to be more agressive toward people... screaming, biting, ect. Maybe we should do a survey of people with blizzards, how many are overly aggressive!? Just a thought...

I'll start a new post for that. In the mean time, its weird. I bought two blizzards, one male one female. Now the one i have named Nala, is bright white with pinkish hues. She's aggressive and uptight. Bronx, is the supposed male (don't know their sexes for sure as they were temp sexed AND Nala shows signs of being male) Bronx is much darker, only his underside is white. He was very skiddish, but now is out and about all the time. He doesn't scream or bite at all. I was told that he was a possible het for patternless too. He's much smaller than Nala, thats how i've been able to tell them apart. I'm in total awe of how different they are. Then again each of my geckos are very very different. Its one of the reasons i love them so much
