Thanks, and it's funny you mentioned that too, because recently I've been giving some serious thought to breed some other stuff I have for being less thrashy, and having calmer dispositions. There is no doubt at all that a lot of their individual behavioral characteristics are inherited from both the parents, just like any other trait is.

I bred two freak-out nervous psycho ghost parents together, and they followed suite perfectly too, they all bite and crap all over me the second they are touched, and never stop.

I have some anery clutches that came from two fantastically mild-mannered parents, and the offspring are all absolute sweet-hearts too. they didn't even crap and musk me when I sexed them, they just calmly went about their business as I was doing it. How often does that happen with Hondo hatchlings?, not very, that's for sure, that is extremely rare to have happen. I've seen these same things over and over over the years.

Yeah, those ghosts, as nice as they are, are real pains in the ass to do anything with, they just smack their heads on everything possible, and biting trying to escape the big "monster" man..LOL!
