Hey Everyone,
Has anyone here who owns het axanthics noticed a tendency for unnecessary striking? I have 1.1 het for axanthic pair. They are from the same line but different breeders. Both are early 07 s and the male is a tad smaller than the female.

The male is the striker and I've been handling him every few days since he's been here. He strikes at me, anyone who passes by while he's being held and also shadows. He is fine while he's in his enclosure with the exception of feeding. He has to strike 2-3 times before catching the prey.

The female was a striker when she got here but with persistent handling she has mellowed quite a bit even tho she still has her moments. She nails her prey on the first strike every time.

Anyone know if it is a difference between male/female het for axanthic thing or just a general personality trait of axanthic/ het for axanthic???
