none of mine are handled regularly and they're all well behaved. The only grumpy ones are two of this years hatchlings (one MUST be a genetic thing, because his older siblings are nippy too!) |

depends on wat way. my mates was racist on wat it ate, it didn't eat black mice, it would only eat white mice. i don't mean to affend anyone by this.
I don't think that's racism.. might be because black mice obviously look different to white mice, if snakey was fed on white all the time and then suddenly a black turned up in its viv, might have been a little cautions towards it
edit - spelling |

rubbish!!
when i first got my caramel she was very skittish, turns out she was just damn hungry! didn't bother handling her for months and months. now she's the most chilled out corn and i still only handle her about once a month to get her in and out of a tub for cleaning and never have any problems.
same with the anery motley i bought off biglad, was told she was a bit skittish and had had a nip once, and true she was very full of it when i initially handled her before buying her but with minimal interaction again she's a really chilled girl now.........
IMO it's their start in life that matters NOT how much you handle them as juvies/adults particularly (if you're an experienced keeper competant in handling them) |

Out of all of my snakes, the Anery corn is the one that is more grumpy than the others.
I don't believe for one second that different morphs have different behavioural patterns, it's purely how they are looked after that makes them develop the 'attitudes' that they can potentially have.

i think its just down to the snakes individual personalities.. like teenagers i guess.. some are stroppy and a nightmare but others are little angels and a pleasure to converse with |

from my experience i wouldn't agree with that at all....... |

thats wat i got told, the ones with red eues are more grumpy and twitchy cuz the red eyes couze them to not see as well as they would with dark eyes. |

I heard that albinos can be a bit more twitchy/grumpy because they can't see as well as other morphs. My snow Luna is definatley more twitchy and sensitive to movement than my Carolina Cranberry....also her last shed was in 4 bits, shes fussy when she eats and wont poop unless we bath her! ahhh! maybe I'm just unlucky lol! |
