    Default Male geckos VS. female geckos??

    I've noticed that all my female crested geckos are 10x more hyper and crazy than my male geckos.
    I've also noticed that all my female crested geckos bite and none of my males do..
    Has anyone noticed this between females and males as well? Is is common? ... Or are mine just weird. Haha.

    I think it depends on the geckos .. most of my females are completely docile minus one who came from petco who is just not right lol. But my males for the most part are docile as well... there are a few crazies out of the bunch but I wouldnt say female over male or anything I think my crazy is evenly spread

    It's funny.. my male is a spaz. My two females are polar opposites. Bella is mellow; whereas Olive is a little spaz (not as spastic as my male.. but close).

    I think it ultimately depends on their personality

    More of my males are spazzy than females, but it really isn't a gender thing. Each gecko has its own temperament!

    My females are spazzy while my malews are as mellow as can be, until they see a female that is

    My female is super sweet! I did get another crestie a few months ago from Petco and she has more of an attitude about being handled - squirmy and nippy. The same for my two males. One is super sweet and the other hates being held but doesn't bite like my other female. I think it's all in how they are raised. I know you don't want to handle them too much as juveniles, but it seemed to help with my geckos.

    All my females are docile and will sit on my hand or bent knee for over 10 minutes before they begin to wander. My males have ants in their pants all the time. I also believe that it is the personality of the gecko. I have a few babies < 2 grams that will sit happily on a finger while others protest with at verbal "peep" anytime I get near them and run frantically every time I take them out of their enclosures.
