    Has nothing to do with it. ;)

    What experiments?

    I have seen some very aggressive babies come from completely docile adult females and vice versa.
    Unless someone kept them in exactly the same environments and held them the same amount of time and fed them the same meals in the same manner, etc etc..
    I doubt anyone has taken the time to do a meaningful "scientific" experiment.

    I've yet to see an aggressive baby that couldn't be tamed into a completely docile adult...

    I have had aggressive normals, yb's, pastels, chocolates, and all of them have calmed down over time. Now my female albino is puppy dog tame with my children, two girls, but bites me every time i pick her up or put her down. I think she just has it out for me, lol. My cinny is a big puppy and my ghost is a very flighty guy, both have an enormous feeding response. rats in the air don't open their cage unless you want on their menu.

    But no individual morph has been overly aggressive in my experience.

    I have a 2400 gram pastel and he will hiss almost every time i go near him. He will buck up his back and sometimes he will even wiggle himself out of your hand. Once you do have him, he will be like a puppy. You can even rub his head.
