One of my leo's is pretty "non-social", but is getting better. My first leo is really sweet and relaxed, so the aggression I saw in my second was a little scary at first. He never tried to bite, but he would arch his back and hiss like a cat (very unnerving sound!). I don't usually try to touch them when I feed them, but usually before I feed them I'll hold them a little. With the aggressive one I picked him up with a dry wash cloth covering my hands the first few times-- he seemed a little more comfortable with it and didn't get as defensive. He's becoming accustomed now, but he's still more high strung than I'd like him to be.
Both of mine are too young to tell what gender they are -- I'm wondering if that may be part of the difference?
