I wonder if it has something to do with Blizzards? When my other gecko was young, it would run from me because it was afraid. My blizzard doesn't mind me touching it and doesn't freak when I pick her up. But she throws her tail around a lot and I'm afraid she'll drop it. When she doesn't want to be bothered, she'll raise her tail and my other leo doesn't do that at all. The blizz seems to have an attitude lol.

However, when it comes to feeding mine is opposite of yours. She will chomp down on mealies any time of day!

With my little boy, normal. Whenever i'd try to handle him he wouldn't poop that night.

He's grown out of it now though, how old is yours, sometime they just grow out of things... funny buggers.

good luck
