This is an interesting post. Not the desert part because everyother posts seems to pretain to them lol.. But the fact that different breeders have different "genetic" morphs that show similar charateristics. I think it may have to do with the original animals the breeder invested into and their genetic makeup. I only say this because 90% of my het albinos and albinos are crazy. They snap at everything, they never stay put, they jump out of their boxes at you. I love the fact that they have a strong feeding response and grow out of control, but they are all a little nuts lol.. My pieds and het pieds are actually calm as can be and grow in girth before they do in length, but ive found the males dont want to breed at a young age. Some of my male pieds have gone 3 years before locking up where as my bees, spinners ext (spider gene) seem to breed at 350 plus grams producing clutches with no slugs.

Just thought it was an interesting topic, so the above is only my personal opinion gathered over the past 10 years. I have not added much to my collection other then hold backs, so most of my animals are products of my original "aggressive" line. I wonder if temperment is something that can also get handed down to offspring if the animals are all raised in the exact same environment (meaning they are all fed in cage and not handled as pets)

Interesting..
