Biting problem?

Hey there,

I was wondering if I could get some help here.

I've been keeping Leos for a number of years, and recently I sold one of mine to a Lady for her son. But when they got him home they had a lot of trouble with him biting, she said she watched him while he was holding him and he was gentle and bit anyways and now they just want to get rid of the leo.

This is really strange to me because in all my years keeping leo's the only time I get bit is my own darn fault, otherwise my geckos have all been really good. I'll admit I'm a new mom and I haven't had the time like I used to to hold them anymore, so it may just not be used to being held, but after hearing the news I went over to my leos and picked all of them up with no problems of biting.

This isn't the little boy's first leo as he has another one that they said does fine. Just wondering what could set the gecko off to be biting so badly?? (they said the gecko drew blood)

Any help/theories would be appreciated.
