Morph Temperment?

I've read a couple posts about Enigmas and Blizzards being a bit temperamental. Are there temperament differences between morphs? If so which ones are the most "docile"?

I think the short answer is, "it varies."
I suppose some Enigmas may exhibit behavioral differences that could be interpreted as being temperamental, though.

i agree with stutfl. it really does vary from gecko to gecko. however, i must say from personal experience that my blizzard is more skittish than my other 4 geckos. ive also heard on these forums about other people's blizzards being a bit more "on edge". that certainly is not enough to stamp the entire morph as acting such tho.

nothing to do with morphs but... my males seem a bit more docile than my females. and of course younger geckos are usually much more wild than the older ones.

all of this is just from my oh so humble sample size of 5 geckos tho.

I have somewhere in the range of 120 Leos, not a huge collection, but not tiny. Blizzards are notorious for being bratty, but my (Tremper) Blazing Blizzards have been very sweet. My brattiest gecko is a Mack Snow Tremper het Blizzard girl. She isn't nippy and hissy, but very fidgety and will fight like heck to get out of my hands after a short time. My sweetest is a great big Mack Snow boy who would hang out with me all day. My Enigmas are also very sweet. I'm sure there are tendancies for different morphs or lines, but I think a lot depends upon the individual gecko.
