My juv. leo wont let me even come close to the cage anymore without hissing and barking up a storm! Hes been the sweetest thing until a few days ago...didnt make any changes or anything, he just decided to be a jerk! [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_mad.gif[/img] I went to change his water and drop some mealworms in his feed dish and he stomped across the cage up to my hand and struck at me! Whats wrong with him??? Im afriad that i might bite back if he gets ahold! =P

watch it.. sounds like your Leo is rabid...LOL J/K

Just go ahead and pick him up as much as you can. Show him you arent afraid of him and his bluffing isnt gonna get him anywhere. He will calm back down. I dont know what got into him or what caused him to act that way. Maybe someone else can shed some light on it for ya though

I never knew a Leo/Fat-Tail could be mean?? thats a first for me, mine are so mellow and love to be handled, they walk right up to my hand and climb on, I think it's because usualy when the hand comes around they get food, [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I have never heard my leo's/fat-tails hiss or bark, I would like to hear them one day, I'm missing out.

I have heard my leos hiss once, but I've never had them strike at me, or show any sign of being aggressive -- they just run away if they don't want me near them.

Have you been handling your leo on a fairly regular basis? Short periods every day or 2 to get them used to you, and then once they calm down (which sometimes won't happen until they're older, young leos can be a bit skittish) you'll be able to handle them about as much as you like [img]modules/Forum/images/smiles/icon_smile.gif[/img]

I've been having the same problem with my baby beardie actually -- he's my first, and I had been pretty much leaving him to his own devices, because he was very young when I got him and I didn't want to stress him out. Well, I created a monster. He DEFINITELY hisses at me every time he sees my hand now, and he can and will strike and bite. Luckily it doesn't hurt (yet), but I'm doing my best to tame him again... he was so sweet when I first got him, he'd just sit on my hand no problem... If your leo continues to show aggression, try handfeeding (or with feeding tongs) some crickets or mealworms -- that will get him associating your hands with good things...
