    I have a pair of cinnys and mine are great, love to come out of their cages and hang on me while I'm working in the snake room or just around the house.

    Re: Are cinni's more agressive than other morph's?
    I only have one cinny, and she is the sweetest thing ever. No cage agression, no out of cage agression, and shes never jumpy at all. Out of all the snakes I've handled shes probably the most calm.

    Thats a normal day. COMPLETE different story when she smells food on feeding day :D

    All of my cinnies are very laid back although they are great feeders. I definitely agree that it all depends on the individual snake. Hatchlings definitely tend to be "pissy" but I also have some adult bp's that must think they are boas! I can't slide their tubs out of the rack without them coming straight for me like a shark! I think they have actually learned that having the tub opened typically means its feeding time.

    You know, it's very interesting that someone mentioned Brian's comment about the darker balls being more aggressive than the lighter ones.

    I know snakes are obviously different than dogs, but there was a study done on the demeanor of dogs relative to their coat color. The study actually showed that in dogs with higher levels of certain color pigments there was also a higher level of stress inducing hormones in the dog. The opposite was true about dogs with lower levels of these pigments there were lower levels of these hormones.

    Obviously not every brown dog is going to be psychotic, but as a dog groomer I can say that my personal observations have confirmed that, in general, dogs of certain colors are more hyper/stressed. For example I've noticed with labs in particular that yellow labs are the more calm, mellow dogs and chocolate labs are pretty much crazy with black labs being somewhere in the middle.

    Again, dogs and snakes.... not the same thing, but it makes you think.

    Just for the record, I do own one of these "evil" cinnies and I love her!!:gj:
