I have found Black Pines to be moody (at least some of them). I have a couple of very angry ones that I do not handle recreationally unless they are having a "good" day. I have a male Northern that's angry a good 80% of the time, but the other 20% he can be handled relatively easily.

I have found that if I use a snake hook to lift the snake out of its enclosure, it will often calm down considerably.
