Hi TQ,

That's a really good question, but I don't have an answer, at least as far
as aggressive traits go :(

I've read that 'hot' leo females, hatched out at a high temp but female, are
aggressive and psychotic, but I really don't know if there's any truth to
that.

But the genetic thing may have some merit, although the only thing I can
attest to is feeding preferences ~

I've been really taking notes on my rhacs this year, and have noticed a
definite trait in feeding behavior, stemming from mom.

One mom, Spanky, absolutely loves pinkies. Her babies are *great* feeders:
they hit the ground running, and take crickets within a week of hatching.

Bear, however, will not touch a pinky even if it's gold-plated, and I've
noticed her babies are weak feeders, preferring baby food for months. (I
have a baby here from June that has yet to take a cricket!). Bear's babies
also grow noticeably slower, too.

They have the same dad, so I'm sure it's a mom thing (if genetics are
applicable, I guess it would be the X chromosome).

Just some ramblings ...
