Jungles are like every other snake in that there is variation among them all. there's no telling which parent they'll take after. you can't be certain because there are different types of jungles, there are 50/50 (half king, half corn) there are jungle corns that are bred back to corn and jungle corns bred back to kings, there are also different types of subspecies of kings used to produce jungle corns. i have a pair of jungle corns that are housed in the same enclosure (i don't recommend that) some jungle corns will eat all their siblings if let in the same enclosure. my jungles eat pretty good and have a "corn temperament." When i got my jungles they were aggressive toward me but calm around each other so I'd put them together for 10minutes at a time and just look at them and one day i fell asleep and left the together all night and they bother where their when i got up and they been together ever since. the best advice i can give you is to know the genetics of the jungle you get or have. and observe their behavior.

I see no rule written in stone. Could be a biter nervous snake or calm easy going. Okay thanks.

I scrolled down and noticed you had a post about your 5 year old cali king. You stated he was a biter and rather nervous. I'm not sure how much experience you have with snakes but it is possible to tame an adult snake. it just requires a lot of attention and possibly dead food (if he'll take it) if you do decide to get a jungle corn get it as young as possible and handle it as much as you can. it's much easier to tame a young snake. i currently have a pair of Brooksi that are the most aggressive snakes I've ever had the male is an `02 the female and `03. the female i have no doubt will break out of that phase soon, the male on the other hand is a beast when he's in his personal space. he's fine once you get him in your hand.
goodluck with all your reptile ventures.
