Just a random question... Do different morphs affect ball python temperament? So for example is a spider more aggressive than a normal?
Silly question...just curious... :)

No. Morphs are paint jobs. They don't affect temperament. Some people say dark morphs are more aggressive, some say light morphs are more aggressive, but imo they all fall within the same sort of range and that morph doesn't affect personality. (Spiders seem to be fantastic eaters despite - or maybe because of - their wobble)

Yeah, animals like Spiders and Womas, or anything with a tie to a neurological issue, would probably be the only ones whose morphs may contribute to temperament; for example, if you have a Spider with a more severe wobble, he may be more easily startled by movements, etc, just because he already has to compensate for his unsteadiness. But other than neurological factors, no snake is necessarily meaner or more docile than one of another morph.
