That is a FACT!
I have produced many offspring from EXTREMELY nervous freaky parent Honduran stock, and the entire clutches were absolutely BONKERS!!, while other bloodlines from much mellower parents were FAR more well-mannered and easy-going. Some even being absolute sweethearts right from the egg(although still rare for Hondos..LOL!). Of course we both know they are pretty damn nervous as a general rule anyway though, the point is inheritable genetics is still the same no matter what type of snake it is.
I always find that alot of this can also greatly depend on the way you present yourself to the snake too. Mainly the giant "MONSTER HAND" from hell..LOL!, and the way it is held after initially being picked up too. all this combined can really affect the way a hatchling percieves things.
