Anybody ever had a crestie go aggro?
Our crested, who is about 4.5 years old, has recently decided that it's happy fun times to bite me. We did move a while ago, but she's had several months now to settle in, so I don't *think* it's stress based on that.
It's really odd - she'll be on my hand, seemingly fine, and then she'll just decide to chew on me. Thankfully, as a crestie, she doesn't have much in the way of teeth or jaw pressure, so she's not able to do any damage. That said, it's very frustrating because in the past, she's been completely peaceful, and now I no longer feel like I could let anyone else handle her. Tonight she bit me probably 5 or 6 times in the span of about a minute.
As far as I know, her environment is all within normal parameters: terrarium's temperature when she just bit me was 75.2 degrees Fahrenheit, she's got plenty of fake plants for cover, and she's in an 18x18x24 exo-terra, so she ought to be just fine. I had just opened up her terrarium to mist her for the night, and after she drank some water off the walls, she decided to hang out in the way of shutting the door. Wanting her to go either in or out, I basically just picked up one foot with a finger and ended up with a whole gecko on my hand, which seemed fine at first. She crawled around for a bit and then started chomping, seemingly at random.
Any ideas as to why or how I can correct this are welcome.
Mountain bikes are for slow people, and reptiles are far better pets than cats & dogs!
