Exactly. I would never in a million years consider my Pewter (Pastel Cinnamon) female aggressive. She'd be the last Ball Python in my collection that I'd ever expect to bite. They are all individual animals with their own personalities.
Re: Are cinni's more agressive than other morph's?
Well I have a male pastel that bite me every chance he gets, even though he is fed very well. My yellowbelly female is the sameway mabe worse she trys to get me through her tub. I think that lighter bp's are more aggressive. My pastel left four teeth marks on ur just today.
Re: Are cinni's more agressive than other morph's?
I will continue to work with my Cinni's and get them to be like the rest of my collection. I was just wondering if this might be a genetic thing. I figured it wasn't but I wanted to make sure. They are part of the pride of my collection (I actually am very proud of all of my snakes) and I plan on doing many different things with the snakes as far as breeding them with certain other animals. I am just patiently waiting for them to grow up. Attitiude is the #1 reason I buy the snakes when they are young. I want to know them before I breed them. I think it is important to know the animals and their individual quirks. My wife just loves to hear me talk while I am feeding and cleaning out cages. Once again thanks you everyone for your input.

Yeah but so don't snakes...my normal is going to grow up and eat my child according to everyone lol ;)
Re: Are cinni's more agressive than other morph's?
Good to hear there are examples of easy going cinni gene snakes. My exposure is very limited. I've seen one super and he's a terror and then I picked my male from two brothers and didn't pick the nicer looking one because he was the most aggressive ball python I've ever seen. The one I did pick is rigid when handled but doesn't actually strike.
I have seen aggression follow family lines in other projects so maybe it's just that some of the founder cinnamon's or some of the early normals they where crossed with where aggressive animals but it's a separate gene from the cinnamon mutation?

How funny Lgray23 my inlaws tell me the same thing, (I can't believe you bought a snake when you have two small boys, what happenes when he gets big he could swallow your youngest son). LMAO they dont know anything too many movies, they act like my ball is going to be an Anaconda or something. LOL.

I know right! The worst part is when you finally convince someone to come over and look at them. Everyone wants to see the young baby snakes. I just cross my fingers and say "please don't strike, please." Lol.
My Black Pastel was a terror when he was young. He was the only one to strike at me through the glass. And, I have a dark spider girl that bit me twice when she was really little.
I still can't come up with a good way to tell people, no you don't want to hold the little ones, they are nasty little snots. Here, take the 2000 g girl. Lol.
