So recently Lucy has been really nippy. She's bitten me multiple times and normally I just blame that on the fact that I wear shiny nail polish and she will usually try to bite it through the glass of her tank. But recently, she bit my dad while he was hand feeding. He wasn't upset about it, he was surprisingly calm about it. But I know that the moment she bites my mom or little sister, there'll be problems. She never shows aggression displays such as black bearding and hissing- her biting comes out of nowhere. How can I fix this? I'd really like to interact with her more but I'm getting really hesitant of handling her. The breeder says that she was always 'feisty'.

Set up

40 Gallon breeder
tile
basking at 100 degrees cool side 70
reptisun10.0

she is two years old, I've had her for about three months
she eats healthy, shows no sign of illness, got a clean bill of health from the vet.

In what situations is she biting? Could you describe some more examples?
What are you feeding her and how much?
Do you usually hand feed?

If it's just at feeding time you may need to adjust your practices to her feeding response. Tongs can help keep your fingers as a safe distance for example. Not hand feeding might also help reduce her association of fingers and food.

I hand feed her every once in a while, I do normally use feeding tongs.
She gets two super worms in the morning and salad with kale peppers and carrots and occasionally squash
She'll bite when I'm trying to take her out of her viv and sometimes she'll just chase my fingers when I'm holding her on my lap.

She always eats her veggies, she's really good about it.

Mirage came out of brumation on April 26. He was doing great. On May 2 he started acting funny. We just redid his tank, and he keeps going into one of his hides. He just lays there. He shows no intrest in food. HELP!
is tape safe for fixing something in my leopard geckos hide?
Day 3 of brumation. It's a struggle. I really miss my little guy. 😔
Mirage entered brumation yesterday, I'm gonna miss hanging out with my little guy.
