In strictly a general sense, greens are a more nervous snake as compared to most other boids. However, with that said, it ultimately comes down to the genetics of the parent stock. Some greens are as calm as the most well behaved burmese, while others are extremely aggressive to say the least. Check out the temperament of the parents if at all possible.

Health wise, from my experience, greens are a very hardy boid, and I have personally never had one that has shown any type of health issue, even though they prefer temps in the low 80's F. As far as defecations, I don't believe they are any more frequent than other boids, however, they will deposit urates on a more regular basis than most boids. Hopefully others will share some of their experiences as well.
