A Question of Temperment

ginebig Mar 02, 2005 10:37 PM

Was just curious to know if there was a difference in attitude between males and females, or is it an individule thing? Or even if it boils down to how they're handled during their captivity.

In my experience, temperament is based on individuality. I have a female that is calm as a kitten (most of the time). I have seen males the same way. At the same time I have seen both sexes that were complete hell raisers. Most of it amounts to how they are kept and socialized. Most of what I have noticed is that snakes that are kept locked up and are rarely ever "worked with" are a little more feisty than the ones that get taken out of the cage every once in a while. Also depends on C/B or w/c as well.

I had noticed with other snakes over the years , that the more one on one they got with you the more tame they seemed to become. And I almost always assume that w/c are gonna be trouble . Thanks
