A few months ago I asked people to rank pine species dispositions, from nastiest to most mellow, and the results were interesting (northerns best, southerns worst).

So how about the gophers ?

These questions always lead me to preface by saying that we have individuals of every subspecies that defy the generality, but here goes.

I haven't worked with Great Basins to be able to comment on them, but I'll address the other commonly kept subspecies in general:

Pacifics - very wriggly, but not as prone to biting; more nervous than aggressive
San Diegos - many follow the Pacific disposition, but I have run into more calm SDs than Pacifics.
Sonorans - the least nervous gopher subspecies, but those that break the rule are more prone to actually bite than the above two subspecies
Capes - fairly high strung and more prone to nip than SDs or Pacifics

With the above in mind, it's hard to actually "rank" them by a certain standard; they're all a bit different.
