Some morphs more aggressive?

Brian did an episode of snakebytes on this. I will try and find it so you can see

As much as i really disagree with it it is just another look at it from someone on a much bigger scale than us with thousands more snakes. Im still sticking on it depending on the snake since i have a few dark snakes that i let my 5 year old neice handle with no worries of her getting bit and lighter ones i wouldnt let her hold

I have a man-eating Onyx ball- Black Pastel/Het Red Axanthic. Its not just a crazy insane feeding responce with him, it's hissing, and whipping around snapping/chewing like Jaws on the back of the boat. He flails around like crazy when you pick him up. Takes quite a while before he just relaxes into a calm, but strike ready posture.
I have heard of other Red Axanthic types with a feed responce like no other. I really doubt it came from the Black pastel half, my Black Pastel girl is an absolute ham. I agree on the line, not color aggressiveness.

my little Calico female is full of p & v, always hissing when I go near her, no bite yet.
the only bite I ever got, so far anyway, was from my big normal female, no longer have her.
my big pastel female is also very hissy when I clean her bin.
I too think it's the snake, not the morph, but I haven't had hundreds to compare them all.

Its the snake, not the morph imo.

Exactly,
No morph is any more aggressive than any other.
I've seen cinny's and black pastels that want to eat your head and others that never bite or hiss or anything but be sweet.
Everyone has different experiences because they are all different in personality and manners.

I know this thread is a year and a half old, but I find it interesting. I have to agree with Evildrdee. Most of the babies from my my Red Axanthic (male) X Cinny clutch have one hell of an attitude. All the Gargoyles and half the HRA's will strike even when out of their cages. I remember Corey Woods (who first discovered the Red Ax. morph mentioning the attitude quite awhile ago.
BTW, My Cinny girl had an attitude as bad as any ball (or boa) I've had, and stayed that way until she was about 1000 grams or so. The Red AZ himself also had an attitude at times, but outgrew it quicker than the Cinny.

Interesting topic, I was wondering something similar not long ago. I have an Enchi who strikes at me when I pull her tub out, great feeder though. I hope she grows out of it she's so pretty I'd love to get her out more often.

This has been raised a few times. Cinnamon seems to come up a lot as well as pied.

My desert can be a little "happy" at times. But once he's out, he's usually ok. But my PewterBlast is totally chill. Through my experiences, sometimes I think it's just the snake.
