Hi there:

I was just wondering who you think has the badest temperament or most comparable strength in this category.

I would say in my personal experience, racers are a lot more aggressive harder to tame than coachwhips. I have tried my luck with black racers and they just dont do well at all. And dont get me started on everglades racers. The best racers I have ever had that did very well and were tame are, blue racer, yellow belly, buttermilk, and a speckled racer. Even though they are not in the group of coluber. William H.

I have to disagree. I've found coachwhips to be much more agressive, but in comparison to a black racer they are thinner. I answered you other question about the "fight" and I remain the same. Coachwhips may be thinner than racers, but I think the coachwhip would kick some @$$
