Ha ha, you where gonna say a texas rat weren't you. Ok so dumb questions like this get asked all the time, and as we all know it depends on the individual snake... usually.
Well I just wanted to share my experience last night. I was cleaning cages and 2, that's right TWO, of my new 06' ball pythons bit me, one I was holding and the other I wasn't. This happened right after I got done cleaning my "pissy" texas rat cages.
Oh, by the way, I have NEVER been bitten by my texas rats...Yet 
Hahahaha. Funny. I've been bitten by my BP twice...and never by my Leucy. However, in general, I do think the Leucy is actually the more agressive and nervous of the two. And both bites where entirely my fault (feeding mishaps).

my leucistic ratsnake is definitely really fidgety, but he's not MEAN. I've met some nasty BP's, and some equally nasty rats...
I agree. I had a ball python that never tamed after a year of handling. It would hiss and strick like crazy. I also had a garden tree boa and a reticulated python that became dog-tame (not pitbull tame). The tree boa would never strike at all. I also tamed a half a dozen black racers that would be safe for even a child to handle. I had rat snakes both ways, and inbetween.
