Yes. BCC tend to be more sensitive about everything than BCI. BCI are just generally more laid back. Both temperamentally and with regard to husbandry as well. I can recommend a male BCI for a first snake. I would not recommend a BCC as a first snake - or even as a first boa.
There are exceptions to every rule - I have a friend who has a female pure Surinam BCC that is gentle as a kitten and has always been problem free. And I have a BCI myself that is out to see me dead and I wouldn't allow anyone but me or someone very experienced to handle her. But as a general rule, BCC are more sensitive in husbandry and temperament than BCI.
