I would welcome any help from you ratsnake afficionados.

I have an opportunity to get a young Bairds ratsnake, a young Emory ratsnake or a baby gray ratsnake from a local herper near me. Thing is, I would like a ratsnake that will not grow up to be overly defensive. The target application for this snake is visiting my kids classrooms with it.

Any advice on which of those types is generally calm as adults? After holding them myself, it seems like this Bairds and this Emory are active but not defensive at all. The gray was a bit defensive at first, then calmed down in hand. But I expect that from a baby. Thanks.
