I really don't have an answer for that?
I know a few girls bought MBKs from me and they occasionally post about how they're doing and I recall them saying theirs were very docile. I have sold many to people just for pets.

You have to remember I have at least 200 snakes here at all times and I mostly handle babies. I just don't do much with the adults other than care for them and snap pix once in a while.

I do not think you should expect them to become aggressive, but I always take it as a sign they're thriving when they act like that. With all my snakes...if I want to hold them I do, regardless of how aggressive they seem. Usually once they realize they're not being fed they just shut off and hang out.

I almost prefer them flying at me going insane as opposed to some Pits who totally stand their ground and won't back down at all. The thing is even with them... in most cases you pick em up and they just chill out haha!
