    they are like most aussies. nippy as hatchlings. mellow with age. my male is small and he has chilled way out. my female is bigger, still nowhere near full grown and she is mean. she hasnt been handled at all and i have no doubt that i can tame her down with ease. as sub adults and adults they are puppy dog tame. even the nippy babies are fine out of their enclosure.

    Age and size seem to matter more to them calming down than handling does for the most of it. Babies are 6" long with a 60' attitude, it's laughable honestly, and at that size often won't sit still in your hands much before trying to shoot off and run away. It seems like somewhere around 12-18 months old, it's like they wake up one day and are suddenly a totally calm and laid back, different animal. I have four adult breeders and none have ever been handled, so long as there isn't a scent of rodent in the room, I can handle any of them and do not expect to get bitten.
