I am not sure what to do, I have been given a young blizzard and she is very mean. I can't pick her up without getting bitten and I'm scared that she will hurt her mouth by doing so. I have never dealt with a mean leopard gecko before, they are usually so sweet. I have always been able to tame them in 2 days, this one I've had for three weeks and it is sooo mean. It scares very easily, even when I let it see my finger coming very slowly to touch it, it jerks really hard like it didn't expect it.
I am not sure what to do about this.

Blizzards do TEND to be more agressive than some of the other morphs. If she's still really young, leave her alone for a while. By going in the tank every day you are stressing her out. Wait until she is at least a sub-adult before you start to handle. She should be calmer then.
