| My other half got me a 3month old blizzard for Xmas I've wanted one for ages and she is absolutely stunning, howeva she would rather strike at me then feed lol so far she has bit me three times choosing my fingers over her pinkies and although she is to small to actually hurt or break the skin I was wondering if anyone else has a similar problem? I can handle her fine and she loves bein cupped in my hands (when it's not feeding time) I have 2 other corns both male 1 bloodred and one hypo stripe and i can hand feed both of them no problems so i was wondering if females are more aggressive then males? |

| Don't think their is a link between their sex and aggression. Some hatchlings can just be nippy and a lot of that is down to how quickly after hatching they begin to be handled. If yours has had the first three months of life without handling then its going to see you as a threat. It will (should) settle down with time. Just be more careful at feeding time, use tongs etc to remove the association of you with the food. Patience and persistence and you'll soon get there. |

| I've good set of tongs that were used for the first time yesterday lol she is calm and placid when I'm only handling her but like I sed its just meal times that she becomes aggressive, my bloodred was quite moody when I first got him but I've tamed him quite well now he loves being handled my hypo stripe has always loved being handled he is quite lazy and just goes with the flow really. I'll get there with her it's exactly wot uve sed just having patients and not giving up either way she will be lovely by the time she is used to me it's still early days yet, thanks for commenting :) |

Theres no difference between males and females in temperament. Falcor,my male Anery Pewter is the calmest of my 2010's. In the case of my 2011's my female Ultramel Anery is the calmest. The most wild of all the corns was Flame,he used to flip about and go mental when picked up,took ages for him to calm down.
Congrats on the Blizzard by the way,they are stunning aren't they.  |
