Morphs & tameness

[J&K's Lemy]

after reading a thread on the tameness of giants I was woundering
witch morphs are the most tame & what are the ones that more likely to bite you

 

[Lalain]

I think the only significant difference I have seen is younger geckos tend to get a bit nippy in comparison to adults. Morph wise I don't think anything substantial has been proven.

There is no relationship between genetic mutations and temperament with leopard geckos, at least as far as I know of. More docile temperaments are usually the result of early, gentle and frequent exposure to human contact from a young age and have nothing to do with the genetics of a gecko.

With that all said however, I have heard that Enigmas tend to be quite handleable and generally more calm than other morphs. Maybe it has to do with the disorder they possess, I don't know. Regardless, it is something that has caught my interest.

Blizzards can be pretty nasty...

Other than that i don't think that there are any morphs that are more aggressive than the others.

i second halley on that, my blazing blizzard was a nightmare when i got him but he's getting much better really fast and hasnt bitten in a few weeks.
Weirdly my Super snow is the calmest gecko iv ever came across!

I'm with them on the blizzards. Every one that I had possessed a bit of a tude. Don't know if its genetic but its an observation that I've made. My giant was also pretty mellow.

I have a jungle bell that seems the easiest to upset
he is calm most of the time
I've been bitten serveral times by him and not while feeding
only got nipped by the others and I was feeding at the time

Funny I have a blazing blizzard who is my only biter. She can not be keep with other females she will attack them. And my male giant who is gentle as they come twice her size is bulled by her over food.

Blizzards=devil

Every single blizzard I have is a demon. Enigmas seem to be the nice morph, but I do have a dreamsickle that tries to bite. A study would be hard because usually requires at least one hundred test subjects. Would need to test pures, then combo morphs. Nicest so far IMO is super giants of any combo. Probably because they are larger and feel less threatened.

Blizzards ARE nasty!

Note to self: Don't get a blizzard...

 

[Ellie_A]

My mack snows seem to be more flighty than my others.

I'm not sure about any link between tameness and specific morphs, but the female blizzard I have is nasty! She is a real bugger and tries to bite every time I have to handle her!
