Do you put her back in the viv once she bites you???
If you do, perhaps she's got into her head that ..biting = being left alone..

Also, are you sure she's not half tokay?? Laughing Laughing Laughing

A simpler explanation is that as someone else said; she may not like being handled. Contrary to popular belief cresties do not uniformly enjoy being handled, its probably nothing more complicated than that.

I agree with Chris (exhalted gecko). It could simply be he does not like being handled.

Thanks for all the replies and possible answers. s/he isn't so bad now. I cleaned his tank out and decided to add alittle more foliage and s/he seems alot calmer than before. still not perfect but defiantly better. Maybe s/he was just getting stressed out i have been moving him around abit which isn't good i know. I also haven't been forcing (for lack of a better word) him to come onto my hand so much just let him come to me and now after a bit of time s/he does just crawl onto my hand. I just think s/he maybe the type to get scared/stressed easily.

Keeping fingers crossed! Thanks again everyone!
